With the rapid development of information and communications technologies, industrial nations are transforming into societies in which knowledge is the most contested and valuable good. The increased speed at which we have to acquire new knowledge, insights, and abilities is forcing us to divide up learning into novel, shorter phases. The traditional choreography of learning with its long, rigid defined school, job, and university educational periods is already obsolete today. Self-organized, lifelong learning is becoming a must. Everyone knows that without the uncertainty of the new nothing new is possible. To try to prevent this in one way or another would be fatal for science, as well as for our society as a whole. Research means thinking ahead. Research means recognizing challenges and taking responsibility for the new. The freedom needed for this is now the international standard, to which we have to adapt. The question of the development of such standards for research can therefore not be posed frequently and persistently enough. We all know that creativity is biological privilege of young age and the best test for their scientific creativity is publication in respectable journals with a solid impact factor. Conferences like this one in Sarajevo in 2016 should be very stimulated for younger as well as more senior research workers.
随着信息与通信技术的迅速发展,工业化国家正在转变为知识成为最具争议且最有价值商品的社会。我们获取新知识、新见解和新能力的速度不断加快,这迫使我们将学习划分为新颖、更短的阶段。传统的学习编排,即有着漫长、严格定义的学校、工作和大学教育阶段,如今已过时。自我组织的终身学习正成为必需。每个人都知道,没有新事物的不确定性,就不可能有新事物。试图以某种方式防止这种不确定性对科学以及我们整个社会来说都将是致命的。研究意味着超前思考。研究意味着识别挑战并为新事物负责。为此所需的自由如今是国际标准,我们必须适应这一标准。因此,关于研究此类标准的发展问题无论被多么频繁和持续地提出都不为过。我们都知道创造力是年轻人的生物学特权,而对他们科学创造力的最佳检验是在具有可靠影响因子的知名期刊上发表文章。像2016年在萨拉热窝举办的这样的会议应该能极大地激励年轻和资深的研究人员。
