The Novel Trends in Chemistry, Research and Education<\/em><\/strong> conference is one of the traditional November events organized by the Institute of Chemistry of the Faculty of Science at Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice. Each year, it provides a platform to present the latest achievements in chemical research and innovations in chemistry education through selected lectures and poster presentations. Its mission is to connect researchers, educators, and students, foster the exchange of expertise, and create an inspiring environment for new ideas and collaborative development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A major attraction of this year\u2019s programme was the panel discussion \u201cInstitute of Chemistry at the Center of Project Opportunities\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, featuring the coordinators of two successful projects funded through the Recovery Plan for research and innovation \u2013 Prof. Erik Sedl\u00e1k<\/strong> (project APBC<\/strong>, focused on biotechnology development) and Assoc. Prof. Adriana Fedorkov\u00e1 Strakov\u00e1<\/strong> (project Sunflower<\/strong>, aimed at energy innovations). These initiatives represent strategic projects of UPJ\u0160 with the potential to bring breakthrough solutions for Slovakia and the wider European research area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UPJ\u0160 achieved exceptional success in this national call: out of 38 submitted project proposals, only 6 were selected for funding, and UPJ\u0160 is the only university in Slovakia<\/strong> involved in two of them \u2013 APBC<\/strong>and Sunflower<\/strong>. Together, the projects received funding exceeding \u20ac28 million<\/strong>, and their implementation is underway at the Faculty of Science and the Center for Interdisciplinary Biosciences (CIB TIP-UPJ\u0160)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
