A description of Bosnia-Herzegovina's Science and Technology sector is given. Due to the lack of reliable statistics, it is merely qualitative rather than quantitative.

Bosnia-Herzegovina is situated in a part of Europe that has been labelled throughout history as a region of unrest, complications and constant perturbation. It is usually called the Balkans or South East Europe. And, to be honest, during the past 10 to 15 years this region has suffered a series of shocks such as the fall of the socialist system in Bulgaria, Romania, Albania and ex-Yugoslavia. After prolonged armed fighting, Yugoslavia was divided into five fragments. The consequences of this have been mass destruction, displacement of population and huge casualties.

Only in the last few years, a considerable effort has been made in this region to catch up with the advancements that have taken place in Europe and to join European integration. Higher education and science and technology sectors in the region are also moving in this direction.
