With Deep Green Inno project entering final phases of our project review we are reflecting on the lasting impact it will have on the HEIs involved. This EIT HEI Initiative project was very much about setting up new structures at the partners universities where students will be able to work on their thesis under dedicated mentorship of academic staff, but with strong focus on industrial applicability of what they do.

Chemistry Department planned and realised the purchase of the thermogravimetric analyser with differential scanning calorimetry (TG DSC) as the important new structure. After the trial period of few weeks, we can proudly say that the TG DSC is successfully installed and put to work. This excellent piece of equipment, model SETLINE® STA by SETARAM producer, is only second such in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Moreover, it gives a higher sense of purpose to student’s exercises and their work on thesis. We started its full use by master students studying the content of organic matter in Bosnian black clay with this equipment for domestic industry. If the data they found is independently confirmed later, this can open new market for this important raw material and creation of new workplaces in our country.
