About the project creator(s)
The STELEKS association was formed in 1968 and is a proud recipient of the 6th April Award of the City of Sarajevo. Furthermore, STELEKS is in charge of many successful projects such as SIFI, Steleksijada, the New Years' and 8th of March Quizzes, as well as organising students' participation on competitions such as Elektrijada and STEM Games.
History
Sarajevo Innovations Festival (abbreviated as SIFI) is an exhibition of student works that gathers engineering students from Bosnia & Herzegovina and the region, and was founded in 2016 by the then-board of STELEKS. In addition to the presentation of student works, which is is the competitive part of the event, the Festival also encompasses lectures and workshops about various current topics related to students, science and engineering. The goal of SIFI is to encourage students to be innovative and write papers, and to become a recognizable technical and science fair, which will benefit both students and companies participating in SIFI.
Scientific papers are evaluated by reviewers, distinguished professors, and experts in the field of engineering and technology. Based on their assessments, decisions are made regarding which papers will have the chance to be presented at the event. In the competitive segment of the event, the papers of all participants will be evaluated by a committee according to the following criteria:
- Applicability
- Innovativeness
- Compliance with the IEEE format
- Based on the total of all scores, a ranking list is created, and the best papers will be awarded.
- Na osnovu zbira svih ocjena pravi formira se rang lista, a najbolji radovi bit će nagrađeni.

SIFI 2018:
Number of papers submitted: 9
For the first time, student papers from outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina are participating, and the 'Dr. Branislava Peruničić' award will no longer be awarded for the Best Woman Paper; instead, it will become an award for the best paper rated by the authors themselves. Additionally, a new feature at SIFI: in the competitive segment, a fourth rating is introduced, given by a committee composed of representatives from companies and reviewers during the poster session. Essentially, this rating evaluates the poster and paper presentation. Each committee member provides their assessment for the presentation, and the final score is calculated as the average of all committee members' ratings.
1st place – Amar Halilović, „"Building a 3D Map Using the MonoSLAM Algorithm"”
2nd place – Amila Jakubović, „"Tuning PID Controller Parameters Using Genetic Algorithm"”
3rd place – Dženita Škulj, „"Remote Force Control in Medical Robotics"”
The "Dr. Branislava Peruničić" award recipient was Dženita Škulj, who came in 3rd place overall.
SIFI 2020:
