As a part of the RM@Schools 4.0 project, the VII European RM@Schools Conference was successfully held in Bologna at the ISOF Institute. Students from 19 European countries aged 10-19 participated in the conference and this event, as in previous years, aimed to promote natural sciences and material technologies in schools, explaining the value of primary and secondary raw materials.
The importance of these topics is reflected in the contribution to the development of new professional careers in the material exploitation chain. Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the project is implemented by our study program, was presented by the students of two high schools (Catholic School Center and Richmond Park College) through a creative video and two poster presentations. The students devoted all their presentations to the potential of domestic resources, namely pyrophyllite from Konjic and zinc from Srebrenica, for the development of nanotechnologies.
Also, their exhibition of the collection of domestic minerals was very noticeable, and the importance of the existence of such resources for the development of the chemical industry was highlighted. In addition to having the opportunity to learn about science trends in other countries, this was an opportunity for the participants to make new acquaintances with young people from all over Europe.
