Successfully opened Blue Green Future (BgF) Summer school (2 October 2023)

The Blue Green Future (BgF) Summer school 2023 was opened at the Center for the Promotion of Science in Belgrade. The welcome and opening speech was given by Dr Miloš Ćirić, coordinator of the BIOLAWEB project, UB-ICTM.


After the opening, three plenary lectures were held by eminent experts in the field of biomonitoring. Dr Zlatko Levkov (Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Faculty of Biology, North Macedonia) talked about "World of diatoms - how to make a problem out of something wonderful". Dr Frédéric Rimet (INRAE, France) gave lecture on "Diatom metabarcoding for biomonitoring and for basic ecology" and Dr Martyn Kelly (Bowburn Consultancy, UK) gave a very interesting lecture on "Use of metabarcoding for ecological assessment of benthic algae in the UK". Lectures were followed by inspiring talks and discussions. 


The attendance was exceptional and with the good organization and quality discussion, the time seems to have flown by. In the following days of the BgF Summer School participants will have the opportunity to attend workshops organized within the BgF Summer school.
