At the Thematic conference entitled Thematic Workshop in Toxicology Related Topics: »Eco- Nano«, June 14-15, 2013, Bojan Sedmak presented the recent achievements on the research that is successfully continuing in the field of detection of cyanobacteria bz specific sensors These can automatically detect auto fluorescence nd senescence as well as programmed cell death. This work is carried our in cooperation with industrial partners in the frame of the international project EU LIFE 12 ENV/SI/000783, LIFE Stop CyanoBloom.

F.08 Development and manufacture of a prototype
COBISS.SI-ID: 2885199Metka Filipič participated at the international UNESCO conference »Emerging Pollutants in Water« July, 9. 11. 2013, in Belgrade. The aim of the conference was presentation the newest results of the studies concerning occurrence, elimination and environmental and health risk assessment of contaminants in water environment that are not yet regulated by international standards. In the invited lecture entitled »Environmental occurrence and potential adverse effects of the residues of cytostatic drugs to aquatic organisms« she presented new data on their occurrence in surface and wastewaters and the results of ecotoxicity testing of selected cytostatics, which enable environmental risk assessment and in the future introduction of appropriate measures for their surveillance and reduction. The presented results were obtained in the frame of the FP7 project Cytothreat.

In 2013 the 7th Conference CETO was again organized again with great international participation, and highest number of young scientists – PhD students from Slovenia with over 150 scientists from EU, USA, South Korea and Brasil. It was also broadly publicized in several daily newspapers and TV interviews. as also broadly publicized in several daily newspapers and TV interviews.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 3538033The new artistic documentary film about the importance of biology and the contribution of our work to solving the environmental and health problems. The film also tries to respond to other existential questions of the modern world and society, caught between technological development and the preservation of life balance. The film has gained the awards on the Festivals 1) the award, called »Rajsko drevo« for the best natural sciences documentary on the First International Fim Festival on Natural Sciences "G-Fest" (May 2012) in Goričko and 2) First award on BOFF- international "6th BOVEC OUTDOOR FILM FESTIVAL" (December 2012) and 3) Gained the Prometej of Excellence in Sience Communication for NIB, awarded by the Slovene Science Foundation. The film has been presented at the ceremony at the Slovene Academy of Sciences (SAZU) in December 2012.
