The Chemistry Department participated in the prominent international conference EMEC21 (The 21st European Meeting on Environmental Chemistry) in Novi Sad from November 30 to December 3, 2021, organized by the European Association for Chemistry and Environment, Serbian Chemical Society and Matica Srpska. The venue of the conference was Matica Srpska, an academic institution in Serbia of great importance.
In addition to participants from Serbia as hosts and countries in the region, the conference was attended by researches from Russia, Germany, Slovenia, France, Greece, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Spain, Ireland, the United Kingdom and other countries, who deal with environmental chemistry and related areas. In total, over 150 papers were presented, through a hybrid mode of work that lasted three days, which was diverse with high-quality scientific presentations by internationally recognized researchers. Chemistry Department presented a total of three papers supported by the projects RM@Schools 4.0, RIS RESTORE and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia. The titles of the papers are as follows:
Introduction of Innovative Green Material Chemistry Demonstrations in Early Education: Case Study Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Research on Developing a Sustainable Way of Neutralizing the Red Mud for its Further Exploitation,
Micro Liquid-Liquid Extraction-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Method for the Analysis of Bisphenol A in River Water Samples.
The Chemistry Department is especially proud that its students from the first and second cycle of studies was the presenters at the conference. In this way, students had the opportunity to meet top scientists working in the field of environmental chemistry, to learn about advances in this and related fields, as well as to form ideas for their future research. They also upgraded their experience in presenting scientific results. It should be noted that Prof Dr Milica Balaban from our Department participated in the conference as a member of the International Scientific Committee.
