Two Forums at the CPN Science Club: How are we Protecting our Soil?

This december, Center for the Promotion of Science, in cooperation with the Faculty of Agriculture and Faculty Forestry of the University of Belgrade, organizes two forums. The main topic of both events is the importance of soil, its impact on our everyday life, but also the challenges of preserving this precious resource. These events are organized with the support of the project LOESS, within work package 3 which is promoting co-creation activities for students and their mentors.

The forums are taking place in December, a month we dedicate to raising awareness of the importance of soil, given that December 5th is World Soil Day. This date reminds us of the key role of soil as the foundation of life on the planet and provides an opportunity to shed light on the challenges of its protection and sustainable management through such expert discussions.

Entry to both events is free, but registration below is required. Events are in Serbian language. On the day of the event links for the online participation will be shared here.
