Successful Erasmus + traineeship at the Faculty of Sciences

During the past few months, the Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad, hosted an internship student from Turkey (İzmir Institute of Technology), Dilan İrem Açan. As part of the Erasmus+ program, she had the opportunity to engage in research activities and to further develop her knowledge and skills under the mentorship of Srđana Đorđievski, research associate at the Department of Biology and Ecology.

During her internship, Dilan worked on the topic “Exploring the environmental and biological factors influencing the health and longevity of honey bee”, gaining valuable experience in the field of biology and environmental protection, as well as in an international research environment.

“My time at the University of Novi Sad has been one of the most valuable experiences in my life. During my internship, I not only improved my scientific and laboratory skills but also learned the true value of teamwork, cultural exchange, and friendship. Living and working in such an inspiring environment helped me grow both as a researcher and as a person. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and for all the support I received. This experience will always remain a special part of my academic and personal journey.” – said Dilan.

The stay of international students within the Erasmus+ program is an important part of the international cooperation of our Faculty, and experiences like this confirm the significance of openness, exchange, and shared learning in international circles.

We wish our colleague Dilan much success in her future personal and academic endeavors.

Saying Farewell to researchers from the Polymer Science and Technology programme

Faculty of Sciences at the University of Novi Sad, under the Memorandum of Understanding with Prince of Songkla University (PSU) of Thailand, hosted two doctoral researchers from the Polymer Science and Technology programme – Ms Kwansuda Kongthong and Ms Thitirat Rammak – from 26 March to 26 July 2025.

During their stay, the students conducted collaborative research in polymer science and technology at the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Environmental Protection, while also engaging in a vibrant cultural exchange.

They immersed themselves in Serbian language and traditions, sampled regional cuisine, visited several cities, and participated in community events – building lasting connections with local students and faculty.

Hospitality and expert support were provided by Associate Professor Dr Berta Barta Holló and the IRO Office.

We thank her for her dedication and look forward to future collaborative projects within our international cooperation framework.
