25 May: “Komunikatorica znanosti” za leto 2022 je Saša Novak Krmpotič

Ljubljana, 22. maja – Saša Novak je znanstvenica s področja naprednih materialov in komunikatorica znanosti. Že desetletje si prizadeva znanost približati medijem in javnosti v okviru projekta Znanost na cesti, ki danes praznuje deseto obletnico. Za STA je spregovorila o začetkih projekta, preteklih in trenutnih izzivih in o stanju komuniciranja znanosti v Sloveniji. Saša Novak je pred natanko desetimi leti skupaj s sodelavko na Institutu Jožef Stefan (IJS) Kristino Žagar Soderžnik ustanovila projekt Znanost na cesti, s katerim so znanost ponesli med ljudi. Na današnji dan pred desetimi leti je namreč potekalo prvo predavanje v okviru projekta, ki ga je izvedel Luka Snoj z Instituta Jožef Stefan. V okviru projekta so doslej pripravili že preko 220 poljudnoznanstvenih predavanj, okroglih miz in znanstvenih slamov, pa tudi podcastov, blogov in natečajev. Za svoje delo na področju komuniciranja znanosti je Saša Novak letos prejela tudi prestižni naziv komunikatorica znanosti 2022.

12 May: JSI meeting on catalysts synthesis, characterization and applications, 25.05.2023, 9:00-16.30 o’clock, Lecture hall JSI

JSI meeting on catalysts synthesis, characterization and applications – 25.05.2023 The scope is to organize a workshop where we would like to connect knowledge from various research areas at JSI with the goal of combining efforts in related/complementary fields. Talks are invited and will cover: – different methods for catalysts synthesis such as, but not limited, wet chemistry, anodic oxidation, electro deposition, magnetron sputtering, etc. – characterization techniques to evaluate morphology, composition, crystal structure, including various physicochemical properties as, but not limited, UV-VIS, XPS, SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman, EPR, etc. – catalyst in the working environment as performance measurements or modeling under different catalytic conditions for applications in various fields including, but not limited, to organic pollutant and microplastic removal, water splitting, CO2 reduction, etc. The aim of this workshop is to synchronize activities towards large European or/and national research project. Organizers: Belisa Alcantara Marinho, Matejka Podlogar, Sašo Šturm –…
