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.

International Bioscience Conference – IBSC2024 held in Hat Yai, Thailand
The International Bioscience Conference (IBSC2024), the result of longstanding collaboration between Prince of Songkla University (PSU) and the University of Novi Sad (UNS), took place on October 28-29, 2024, in Hat Yai, Thailand, marking the ninth edition of this international event.
This year’s host, the Faculty of Science at Prince of Songkla University, organized the event in line with principles of sustainable and eco-friendly event management. The conference theme, “Bio4: Expanding the Horizon”, focused on fostering knowledge exchange and deepening international cooperation through sessions promoting innovation and contemporary trends in biosciences.
On the second day of the conference, particular emphasis was placed on presenting the international programs Horizon Europe and Erasmus+, as well as successful projects within these initiatives. Panel discussions were also held, covering topics such as scientific development and excellence, global challenges, and technology transfer.
IBSC2024 provided participants with a valuable opportunity to exchange the latest scientific insights and ideas, as well as to enhance collaboration between partner universities. In a friendly and collegial atmosphere, PSU warmly welcomed a delegation of 10 faculty members from the University of Novi Sad.
We eagerly anticipate the next IBSC conference, which will take place in Novi Sad in two years, and look forward to welcoming our Thai colleagues.
