Dr Aleksandra Marković visited Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland (November 2026)

As part of the Erasmus+ staff mobility programme, Dr Aleksandra Marković visited the Faculty of Biology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland, where she delivered a guest lecture presenting research findings from the BIOLAWEB project.

The lecture, entitled “Unlocking Lacustrine Biodiversity: A Comparative Assessment of eDNA and Traditional Surveys for Exploring Charophyte Diversity in Lakes”, examined the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to explore and assess charophyte diversity in lake ecosystems, highlighting its potential compared with traditional biodiversity survey methods.

The presentation provided an opportunity to share the scientific outcomes of the BIOLAWEB project with the academic community at Adam Mickiewicz University and to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating molecular and traditional approaches in aquatic biodiversity research.

The Erasmus+ mobility also strengthened international academic cooperation, facilitated knowledge exchange, and fostered connections between researchers working in aquatic biodiversity and environmental monitoring.

Through activities such as this, BIOLAWEB continues to promote the exchange of expertise and the dissemination of research results, extending the project's impact beyond the consortium.
