Chemistry Department is in the process of signing a contract for the realization of its first coordination project in the programs of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
Since 2017, the Chemistry Department has participated in six partner EIT projects, and a great effort and success in mastering the project preparation methodology in this branch of the Horizon Europe program is crowned by the DeepGreenInno coordination project. This is the first coordination project in our country, as well as in the countries of the Western Balkans in this science support program.
DeepGreenInno: Deep Tech in Material Sciences: Greening the Balkan HEIs Innovation and Entrepreneurial Potential is a project with a total budget of €750,000 and a total of eight partners from six countries (Bulgaria, Italy, Serbia, Greece, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina).
It should be noted that the preparation of the DeepGreenInno project application was supported by the Ministry of Scientific and Technological Development, Higher Education and Information Society of the Republic of Srpska and the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which at the same time represents one of the most successful examples of the dedicated use of domestic programs to support the preparation of projects from the framework of Horizon Europe.
The opening of all 16 projects that received funding in this call was held in Prague at the workshop held on May 29-30, 2023, where four teams from our consortium attended. Additionally, the event in Prague was the first training workshop in defining the Innovation Vision Action Plan (IVAP).
After this event, on June 15, 2023, the first official meeting of the entire project consortium was held at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Banja Luka, where plans for activities during the implementation of the project were defined.
