We were happy to host high-school students from Latvia on 30th June – 2nd July in the framework of our collaboration with the Baltic Biomaterials Centre of Excellence (BBCE). They were the winners of the BIO-GO-Higher competition which was organized for 10th and 11th grade high school students from Latvia with the intention to promote the interest of young students in science and engineering. The group traveled under the supervision of Karina Egle and Lāsma Mālniece, researchers at Riga Technical University. The pupils were welcomed to the FAU Institute of Biomaterials by Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini. Together with their mentor and visiting researchers of BBCE, the pupils visited our laboratories and performed experiments related to biomaterials. From our team, Dr. Zoya Hadzhieva and Marcela Arango-Ospina were in charge of the organization of the visit, and they were supported by Sofía Del Salto, Jahid Alakbarli, Andrada-Ioana Damian-Buda (PhD students) and Dr. Priscila Toninatto Alves de Toledo for the laboratory activities.
