The research team of the RIS RESTORE project from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics of the University of Banja Luka, visited the Geological Department of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Zagreb within the RIS RESTORE project.
The meeting was held in the premises of the Geological Department, where information on the work, experiences and ideas of the present members were exchanged. The teams got to know each other’s methodologies and approach to research, as well as the possibility of cooperation, followed by planning project activities in the coming period. The Banja Luka team also delivered a sample of red mud for colleagues from Zagreb from the tailing Klisa near Zvornik, which is managed by the “Alumina” company. This sample will be used to compare the results obtained in different laboratories, as well as to obtain fresh results based on new ideas of research teams and applied experimental techniques.
The meeting was held in accordance with all recommended epidemiological measures. It was concluded that in addition to innovative activities in both groups in the coming period, an opportunity to hold events for the dissemination of ideas for solving the problem of red mud tailings will be considered. The event would include the Balkans context and host project partners from the region.
This was the opportunity for the team from Banja Luka to visit the VirtuLab, a newly established network of 15 laboratories at the University of Zagreb, whose capacities could also be useful to the RIS RESTORE project. Hospitality to the team was shown by Prof. Dr. Sibila Borojević Šoštarić and her colleagues.
