Spotlight on EU Collaboration and GREENE: HaDEA Delegation Visits @Jozef Stefan Institute Yesterday, Director @Prof. Leon CIzelj, @Prof. Sašo Šturm, GREENE coordinator @Prof. Kristina Žužek and @Matej Zaplotnik of @Magneti Ljubljana had the honour of welcoming a high-level delegation from the @European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) to the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) in Ljubljana. The delegation included: @Marina Zanchi, HaDEA Director @Katleen Engelbosch, Head of Department B “Digital, Industry and Space” @Angelo Marino, Head of Department A “Health” @Mirjam Borstnik Gergely, Deputy Head of Unit A3 “Health Research” The visit offered a valuable platform to exchange on the challenges and opportunities facing Europe’s science, technology, and industry sectors. Discussions focused on EU priorities and funding avenues, also in the area of Critical Raw Materials. @Prof. Kristina Žužek presented GREENE and the project’s contribution to enhancing the sustainability, autonomy and resilience of European industry in the long term.

At the conference High-Entropy Alloy Nanostructures: From Theory to Application (24–26 September 2025, London), our colleague Lara Einfalt won the poster prize. Lara Einfalt received the Best Poster Award at the High-entropy alloy nanostructures: from theory to application Faraday Discussion, an international discussion conference on advances in the field of high-entropy alloys, held in London, United Kingdom, from 24th to 26th September 2025. Titled “Anodized TaNbHfZrTi High-Entropy Alloy as a Catalyst for the Antibiotic Tetracycline Removal”, her poster presented research on the application of high-entropy materials for environmental remediation. The study demonstrates anodic oxidation as a practical synthesis approach for developing self-ordered mixed metal oxide nanotube arrays on a refractory high-entropy alloy. These unique nanostructures demonstrate strong potential as catalysts for the photo(electro)catalytic removal of antibiotic tetracycline from wastewater, highlighting both the application of high-entropy materials in catalysis and their relevance for addressing urgent global water pollution challenges.
