Success at the Project Olympiad in the USA
Tilen Komel and Jure Fabjan, third-year students of the Gimnazija Nova Gorica, in colaboration with the Laboratory for Environmental Research of the University of Nova Gorica and the Kmetijsko gozdarski zavod Nova Gorica prepared the project work about the fotodegradation of neonicotinoid inseticides.
The experimental work was done under the supervision of Romina Žabar from the Laboratory for Environmental Research and Dr. Mojca Bavcon Kralj from the Kmetijsko gozdarski zavod.
In January, the project work that students had written in the English language, was send to the I-SWEEEP - International Sustainable World Energy, Engineering, Environment Project Olympiad and qualified into the finals, as the only Slovene representatives. At the olympiad, which took place between 4 and 9 May 2011, we achieved great success and received one of the silver medals in the category of Environment.
