May 20, 2024: Presentation of the project’s results at Science Public Lecturing, Ukraine

On May 20, 2024, a Science Public Lecturing devoted to the Day of Science was held at Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University, Ternopil, Ukraine. The event had a goal to introduce the results of the young researchers and to increase the interdisciplinary research framework. It was organized by the University Council of Young Scientists with the leadership of Dr. Oxana Horyn, young researcher of NATO SPS MYP G6094 (team of PPD Dr. Andryi Hertz). Students from the Bachelor and Master programs attended the event along with the earlier carrier young researchers.

On behalf of the project’s team Dr. Aigerim Mamirova, Senior Researcher, Department of Biotechnology, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kazakhstan (Linkage Institution of G6094) delivered on-line presentation «Phytoremediation: а Powerful Tool for Revitalizing the Complexly Contaminated Soils» which intended to familiarize students with the methods of research investigation and promote the science among students. Part of the report related to the recently received within NATO G6094 results aroused special interest, since a significant part of Ukraine is currently contaminated as a result of hostilities. The remediation of post-military territories is among the key priorities of the country’s recovery in the post-war period, which will be a task for the new generation of scientists.
