The ZORH team!

Meeting of scientists, professionals and students on the topic of environmental protection in the Republic of Croatia (4th ZORH meeting) is a project organized by students of the Faculty of Chemical Technology in Split together with the Faculty of Materials, Metallurgy and Recycling in Košice and the student section of the Croatian Society of Chemical Engineers.

The right to participate is available to: students of undergraduate and graduate studies in the fields of technical, natural and social sciences; scientists and experts who are actively involved in scientific work in the fields of ecology, social sciences and environmental protection; employees from related industries that can use  their experience to give insight  about current problems regarding disposal of waste and its generation and/or water and air pollution.

Our goal is to connect the academic community with the business sector in order to discuss key problems and to further encourage the public to be more interested in the field of environmental protection.

After the realisation of 3rd ZORH congress, whose scope went beyond Croatia, we continue in the same direction. The preceding congress gathered over 150 participants from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Spain, France, Germany, Poland and Malta.

Statements of participants about the convention

Hello everyone, four years ago, motivated KTF students, eager for new knowledge and aware that with a small step can make a significant change for a better tomorrow, launched the idea of ZORH. With the help of professors, colleagues from other faculties and good people, the ZORH convention came to life. Thanks to that, a large number of people from different institutions and beyond connected. In addition to spreading knowledge and perspectives, new projects have been launched, and lasting friendships have been formed. Today, a new team of students took over the organization and raised ZORH to a higher level, which is why I am extremely happy. I hereby invite scientists, experts in the field of environmental protection to get involved in this commendable project and be a motivation to young people. I also recommend students to respond as exhibitors, present their final and graduate theses because ZORH is the perfect opportunity to present student work in a pleasant atmosphere. Ivana, mag. chem.

Hello, good people! My name is Luka Marijan Alešković. I am a student of the first year of graduate studies in chemical technology and materials at the Faculty of Chemical Technology in Split. I had my first contact with the ZORH meeting last year when I gave an oral presentation of a scientific paper. I was amazed by the large turnout of participants, as well as the amount of people from different countries, and especially interdisciplinary content of the meeting. I immediately noticed what potential ZORH has in terms of spreading awareness, knowledge and experience about environmental protection. For this reason, I joined the organizing committee. The project is well thought out and I appreciate the effort put in by the older students of KTF. I believe that the development of environmental protection science must follow today's rapid technological development, otherwise we will destroy the only home we have. Our beautiful, round Earth. I want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Greeting! I am Silvia Bućma, a second-year student of the graduate study of Chemical Technology, majoring in Materials at the Faculty of Chemical Technology in Split. I found out about ZORH in my first year of college and was delighted by the creativity of the project itself, and I was immediately sure that one day I wanted to be a part of it. I participated as a volunteer at the 3rd International ZORH Meeting, and this year I raised my participation to a higher level and became a member of the Organizing Committee of the 4th International ZORH Meeting. I personally believe that the topic of environmental protection is a very important factor in every segment of today's society, and it is my pleasure to participate in the implementation of a project that, in addition to knowledge, provides the opportunity to make new acquaintances and share experiences. I cordially invite all colleagues to be part of ZORH and to help us in the common goal of raising environmental awareness. "It's surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth." - Sir David Attenborough

Hello, I'm Karla Buntić and I'm a second-year graduate student at the Faculty of Chemical Technology, majoring in Materials. Delighted by the fact that this project was created by KTF students, I decided to register as a volunteer at the 3rd International ZORH meeting. After the excellent work done by my colleagues, instructive lectures and poster presentations, I decided to get even more involved in this project and this year I became a member of the Organizing Committee. I believe that ZORH is a place where, with a pleasant atmosphere, you can make various acquaintances, exchange experiences with foreign students, professors and experts. I invite future generations of students to be part of this project because this project truly raises awareness of how important environmental protection is and that planet Earth is our only "home" that we need to take care of. See you!
Karla
Hello, my name is Jelena Sedlar and I am a 2nd year graduate student in Chemical Technology - Materials major. I found out about ZORH in the 2nd year of undergraduate studies, but I never had the courage to apply myself. By chance, I ended up in the Organizing Committee last year and I can tell you that I have no regrets at all. This is an event whose organization is very demanding, but the results of the work are what make it worthwhile. The whole idea of ZORH was designed as a student initiative with the desire to educate as many people as possible about environmental protection problems, i.e. about problems that are increasingly present in our everyday life. After last year's meeting showed great response and success, I invite everyone interested to register this year and be part of this commendable event and to make it even bigger and better.

Hello, I am Mislav Ćorić, a 1st-year graduate student in chemical technology. I was encouraged to participate in this project by my colleagues and friends who were impressed by the previous ZORH meetings, and by participating I convinced myself that this is a unique event at the university because it allows students to present their own ideas and projects to solve the increasingly important problem of environmental protection. Due to its international character, ZORH is an ideal place for exchanging experiences with students from abroad, making acquaintances and contacts with colleagues and experts from industry and technology. I think that ZORH is a great opportunity for students to expand their horizons in a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere by applying the acquired and acquiring new knowledge, and by participating in this project, get out of the scope of everyday studies. I hope that this project will continue to grow in order to motivate students to be more involved in extracurricular activities related to current problems, make new friends and have fun with it. See you at ZORH!
Mislav
Greeting! My name is Katarina Nižić and I am a second-year student of the Chemical Technology graduate study at the Faculty of Chemical Technology in Split. I found out about the ZORH meeting through colleagues and professors who participated in its organization and implementation last year. Their enthusiasm for the meeting, as well as my desire to be a part of this truly special story, encouraged me to become active and thus led to membership in the Organizing Committee. Although the meeting requires time, effort, a lot of sacrifice and dedication, the feeling of satisfaction and pride that I have already acquired cannot be described in words. I want that experience for you too, to dare and join this laudable project that changes, refines and connects us all together. The very fact that you are here shows your desire and interest in building a better you and thus a better tomorrow. This colorful ball of ours has given us a lot, and it's high time we show her how much she means to us and what we can do for her. The 4th International ZORH meeting is waiting for you.
