Participation in Plant-Soil Restoration Universities UK International (UUKi) Twinning Network Workshops (Germany)

Dr. Yelizaveta Chernysh (in person) and Dr. Viktoriia Chubur (online) took part in hybrid form in the Plant-Soil Restoration UUKi Twinning Network Workshops, which took place on July 4-5, 2023, at the Lancaster University Campus in Leipzig, Germany.

The main focus of the workshops was to identify opportunities for new collaborations between environmental, plant and soil scientists from the UK, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Germany to share research experiences, develop plans for authoritative reviews, and joint activities for post-war soil restoration in Ukraine. Yelizaveta presented a report on her own research within the framework of the research project "Phosphogypsum as a mineral resource for bioprocesses".

This project has received funding through the MSCA4Ukraine project, which is funded by the European Union. This will expand the network of contacts for further dissemination of the results of the MSCA4Ukraine project on the use of phosphogypsum together with digestate to improve soil fertility. Viktoriia also presented the results of her research under Ph.D. thesis, which also related with the topic of phosphogypsum recycling under co-supervision of Assoc. Prof.  Dr. Hynek Roubík and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yelizaveta Chernysh.
