The Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology at the Maria Curie Skłodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin is organising the seminar ‘Ecological innovations for the public sector’, which takes place on 11 September. 

The main objective of the seminar is to present innovative ecological solutions, as well as to create a platform for establishing contacts and exchanging experiences between the scientific community and the socio-economic environment, including local government units and state institutions responsible for environmental problems, as well as companies applying ecological innovations in practice.

Scientists at the event will be represented by, among others, Dr Małgorzata Wójcik, Prof. UMCS, and Prof. Jaco Vangronsveld from the Department of Plant Physiology and Biophysics at UMCS. Among the invited entrepreneurs who will talk about their experiences are Randy Mott – president of Phytoremedia sp. z o.o., a company involved in environmentally friendly remediation of contaminated land, and Marcel Nowosielski – co-founder of C2C, a Lublin-based manufacturer of recycled eco bags.
