During the Dag van de Wetenschap (Day of Science) on 24 November 2024, in Mol (Belgium), our colleague Milica Velimirovic, from VITO, represented the SSbD4CheM project in the activities, offering a specially prepared word puzzle to engage citizens in sustainability concepts and clarifying questions like “What does a sustainable future look like?”, “Why is sustainability so urgent and important and how can technology help?” and explaining how the project is contributing to it.

On 14 September 2024, as part of Slovenia’s Cleaning Action “Clean Coasts” (Čista obala), linked to the International Coastal Cleanup, our colleagues from the Slovenian’s National Institute of Chemistry (NIC) organized a special workshop “Secrets of Plastic” aimed at raising awareness among young people about plastic pollution and potential solutions. The workshop welcomed children to actively engage in the classification of plastic waste.
