With Deep Green Inno project entering final phases of our project review we are reflecting on the lasting impact it will have on the HEIs involved. This EIT HEI Initiative project was very much about setting up new 🐣 structures at the partners universities where students are able to work on their thesis under dedicated mentorship of academic staff, but with strong focus on industrial applicability of what they do.
Our coordinators, Univerzitet u Banjoj Luci, planned and realised the purchase of the termogravimetric analyser with differential scanning calorimetry (TG DSC) as the important new structure for their Chemistry department. Successfully installed and put to work, this excellent peace of equipment is only second such in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moreover, it gives a higher sense of purpose to student's training. Currently master students are studying the content of organic matter in Bosnian black clay with this equipment. If the data they found is independently confirmed later, this can open the Italian market for this important raw material, in ceramics industry and unlimited possibilities for export.
Some of the best deeptech stories supported by EIT HEI Initiative and EIT Manufacturing are yet ahead. 🌺
