The Faculty of Sciences invites us to observe the stars

The project ‘Vojvodina and Bács-Kiskun Night Sky as a Novel Touristic Attraction’, with the acronym VoBaNISTA, is financed by the Interreg-IPA Cross-border Cooperation Programme Hungary-Serbia. The participants in the project are research associates and professors at the Faculty of Sciences in Novi Sad, as well as the members of Astronomical Societies of Novi Sad and Backa Palanka, together with the Baja Astronomical Observatory Foundation, Hungary.

The aim of the project is to use untouched potential of the region Vojvodina – Bac-Kiskun which is the quality of the night sky, natural reserves and cultural heritage and to develop them into new tourist attractions of the region. Namely, the project will be realised through building a unique mobile observatory which will enable tourists to observe astronomical objects – planets, star clusters and galaxies as well as the phenomena on the sun, our mother star, mainly from the protected nature reserve areas, as well as in urban areas. This calls for the collaboration with tourist organizations and the participation in festivals and other events which are relevant for tourism in the region. Workshops will also be organised with the aim of pointing out the problem of light pollution, as well as several astronomical camps in Fruska Gora.

Achievements

Novi Sad – the Centre of Medical Physics

In the Rectorate, University of Novi Sad, 8th Alpe-Adria Medical Physics Meeting was held from 25th May to 27th May 2017, organized by the Faculty of Sciences, Novi Sad, Serbian Society of Medical Physics and the Society for Radiation Protection of Serbia and Montenegro. Novi Sad welcomed over 120 experts from 22 countries, and for the duration of three days, more than 50 scientific papers were presented, in the fields of medical physics in radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, diagnostics and radiation protection.

Lecturers were outstanding experts from the entire Europe: Dr Renato Padovani, the director of the Centre for Medical Physics, International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Dr Joanna Izewska, Chief of Dosimetry Laboratory, International Atomic Energy Agency from Vienna, Dr Carmel Caruana, Chairperson for Education and Training of the EFOMP.

New contacts were established, useful information and results of previous research were shared with the aim to achieve better treatment of patients and safer use of ionizing radiation. The central theme of the meeting was the introduction and the implementation of new techniques in the treatment of cancer patients and their treatment during radiotherapy.

The Conference was supported by the funds from the Provincial Secretariat for Higher Education and Scientific Research, the Faculty of Sciences and the University of Novi Sad. The next meeting will be held in Austria.

The Faculty of Sciences has a long tradition in educating medical physicists, as well as a successfully completed IPA project of cross-border cooperation in the field of education and training for medical physicists MEPHYSTE, which made it possible for the Faculty to purchase valuable equipment for training medical physicists students and to obtain accreditation for the doctoral studies in medical physics.
