Dragana Grahovac

Hi! I’m Dragana from Belgrade! I’m a second-year student in chemical engineering at the University of Belgrade. As a student, I achieved outstanding results both in competitions and at school. My love of science led me to become a member of the Petnica Research Center and the Belgrade Center for Talents, and I’m also a member of Mensa. I’ part of the WWF youth project ‘Climate heroes: Youth Voices for Sustainable Living’, where I have the opportunity to develop leadership and organisational skills, plan civic actions and constructively propose and implement initiatives. I’m also directly involved in activities and discussions regarding climate change. Furthermore, I have volunteered at film, sports and theatre festivals. I was also an online volunteer with UNICEF, and I was a member of the environmental organisation ‘ImpactEco’ and participated in the #Stanamtesko movement’s activities – which was run by the Young Researchers of Serbia. I had the opportunity to present Serbia at the EU-Balkan Youth Forum held in Italy and based on a proposal made by the Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, and at the Western Balkans Youth Forum 2021. I’m now a part of BEST (Board of European Students of technology) and PR coordinator for EBEC (European BEST Engineering competition), which will be held in March 2022.
