Održan Lunchtime Talk #9 – „Klima i život u harmoniji: biometeorologija u službi života na Zemlji“
Danas je u Klubu nastavnika DF/DMI održan deveti po redu Lunchtime Talk u organizaciji Kancelarije za međunarodnu saradnju PMF-a, pod nazivom „Klima i život u harmoniji: biometeorologija u službi života na Zemlji“.
Predavači Stevan Savić, Jelena Dunjić i Milica Vasić sa Departmana za geografiju, turizam i hotelijerstvo predstavili su kako su njihovi projekti, terenska istraživanja i međunarodne saradnje doprineli pozicioniranju Univerziteta u Novom Sadu na globalnoj mapi biometeorologije. U okviru izlaganja predstavljeni su inovativni rezultati i kratki prikaz istraživačkog puta koji je doveo do toga da PMF i Novi Sad 2026. godine budu domaćini 24. Međunarodnog kongresa biometeorologije (ICB2026).
Učesnici su imali priliku da čuju više o radu Novi Sad Urban Climate Lab-a, uključujući primere dobre prakse u urbanoj klimatologiji, biometeorologiji i interdisciplinarnim pristupima u istraživanju klimatskih uticaja na životnu sredinu i ljude.
Nakon inspirativnih predavanja usledila je diskusija, gde su prisutni postavljali pitanja i razmenili iskustva sa predavačima, uz kratko neformalno druženje.
Zahvaljujemo se kolegama na odličnom predavanju i svim učesnicima na prisustvu.
Vidimo se na narednom Lunchtime Talk-u!
