Vivendi project

U okviru aktivnosti promocije nauke, predstavili smo naš projekat VIVENDI učenicima osnovne škole tokom njihove posete Institutu za nuklearne nauke „Vinča“.

Kroz interaktivno druženje, učenicima smo približili koncept zelene hemije i značaj održivih tehnologija u savremenim istraživanjima. Takođe, izveli smo interaktivan eksperiment, zajedno smo koristili prirodni pH indikator za ispitivanje pH vrednosti različitih kućnih hemijskih sredstava, približavajući im principe zelene hemije i održivih tehnologija.

Poseta je realizovana sa ciljem popularizacije nauke i podsticanja interesovanja mladih za zelenu hemiju. 🧪

This March, PI Dr. Tatjana Trtic-Petrovic, visited our diaspora partner, Dr Goran Vladisavljevic, at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Loughborough University.

During the visit, experiments on the microfluidic production of alginate milli-capsules were successfully carried out as an encapsulation technique for natural compounds. The visit also provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and expertise in the fields of green chemistry and membrane technology, along with discussions on ongoing research activities.

We are very grateful to Dr. Goran Vladisavljević and Nibina Nizar and Ashwin Rajesh Vanaja at Loughborough University for their warm welcome and support throughout the visit.

Members of our team had a great time in Novi Sad, taking part in the 𝗦𝗮𝗙𝗲𝗟𝗶 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, where had the opportunity to share our goals and results with a practitioners.

A big thank you to the organizers for putting together such an insightful event and for the warm invitation.

We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing our knowledge exchange!

We’re proud to share that our team member Nada Ćujić Nikolić presented the latest results and goals of our project at the 4th SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION OF SERBIA with international participation The Future of Pharmaceutical Sciences: Creative People & Innovative Ideas in Challenging Times held on October 30th, 2025, in Divčibare, Serbia.

A big thank you to the conference organizers and participants for the inspiring discussions and valuable feedback.

Our PI Tatjana Trtić Petrović had the pleasure of giving a talk, “Eco-Friendly Strategies for the Extraction, Enrichment, and Formulation of Bioactive Compounds,” to the Path Research Group at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials – University of Aveiro, where she shared recent results from the VIVENDI project, Fond za nauku Republike Srbije - Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia.
Huge thanks to Dr. Mara G. Freire for the kind invitation, our ongoing collaboration, and the insightful discussions. Grateful to the colleagues and students who joined and contributed great questions!
