INPRAFUN Research Presented at the 21st Ružička Days
INPRAFUN project researchers Andrea Dandić, Marija Paurević, and Martina Šrajer Gajdošik participated in the 21st Ružička Days, an international scientific and professional conference held from 9 to 11 September 2026 in Vukovar under the motto “Science Today – Industry Tomorrow”.The conference traditionally brings together researchers and professionals from the fields of chemistry, chemical and biochemical engineering, materials science, and related disciplines, with a particular focus on the application of scientific results and strengthening connections between science and industry.
As part of Work Package WP1, the researchers presented their work entitled “Microwave-assisted synthesis of a novel imidazole-triazole derivative for antibacterial evaluation.”The research focuses on the synthesis of a novel derivative combining imidazole and 1,2,3-triazole rings—heterocyclic structures known for their broad range of potential biological activities. A particular focus of the research was the application of microwave-assisted synthesis,, which enables shorter reaction times and a more energy-efficient approach compared with conventional heating.
The participation of INPRAFUN researchers at the Ružička Days represents another opportunity to present the project's research results to the scientific and professional community and to contribute to the development of new, more efficient, and sustainable approaches to the synthesis of potentially bioactive compounds.

INPRAFUN Research Presented at YUCOMAT 2026 in Herceg Novi
INPRAFUN project researcher Igor Đerđ participated in the 27th Annual Conference on Material Science – YUCOMAT 2026, held from 31 August to 4 September 2026 in Herceg Novi, Montenegro. The conference brought together researchers working in the fields of advanced materials, nanotechnology, eco-materials, and related areas of materials science.
As part of the conference, Igor Đerđ presented research conducted within Work Package RP5, focusing on the development and investigation of ceria–zirconia-based oxide materials for the photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide using visible light. The research encompasses both ordered and disordered structures, including high-entropy oxides, combining experimental methods with a computational approach based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
Participation in YUCOMAT 2026 provided an important opportunity to present INPRAFUN research results to the international scientific community and to exchange knowledge and experience in the field of advanced functional materials.
