Following modern trends in higher education development, the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FNSM) aims to connect students’ research, especially in their final papers and during professional internships, to the industry.

With mutual satisfaction from the existing collaboration, significant agreements on scientific and technical cooperation have been signed with three domestic companies: “Kona,” “Kolorit,” and “Prizma Komerc.” Student internships and final papers have already been realized with the companies “Kolorit” and “Prizma Komerc,” including visits, particularly for students studying chemistry and environmental protection.

The agreement will provide a framework for further expanding research topics, domestic materials, raw materials, innovations, and environmental protection efforts invested by these companies. The company “Kona” is a newer partner that follows research in the field of nanocarbon materials conducted at the FNSM with interest. Their modern production capacities for wood pyrolysis offer opportunities for further development of new materials, emphasizing a sustainable, domestic raw material supply chain.

These three new partnerships are crucial for the overall work of the faculty and from the perspective of our coordinating project, DeepGreenInno, funded by the EIT Health, where we strengthen the capacity for research as well as education in innovation and entrepreneurship for our students.
