A total of 72 eminent scientists and researchers from twelve countries of the world took part in the conference. The work of the conference took place in four panels where the participants presented the results of their research on the genocide of Bosniaks in Srebrenica, but also on other related topics.

Members of the Organizing Committee noted that this conference, among other things, was an opportunity to share experiences about the genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its causes, scale and consequences, and this implies the responsibility of scientists and the entire intellectual public. "When we think about Srebrenica, we think about Bosnia and Herzegovina, its reconstruction and its future. The issue of the genocide in Srebrenica is a matter of conscience for all humanity," the members of the Conference Organizing Committee stated.
