It is a great pleasure to welcome you all dear participants and distinguished guests of the 11th Symposium with international participation Kopački Rit: Past, Present, Future 2022.
The Symposium was organized by Public Institution Nature Park Kopački rit, Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek, Faculty of Education, Department of Biology, Department of Chemistry and Faculty of Economics in Osijek, which are member units of the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Public Institution Agency for Management of Protected Natural Values in Osijek-Baranja County, Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health from Zagreb, and Teaching Institute of Public Health of the Osijek-Baranja County.
The international support to the symposium organization is granted by two international associations: The Danube River Network of Protected Areas (DANUBEPARKS) and The Balkan Environmental Association (B.EN.A.).
Programme of two-day symposium, on 29 and 20 September 2022, delivers 68 presentations including 23 oral and 45 poster presentations. During the eleven years, since the first symposium held on 27 September 2012, as total of 450 presentations have been held so far. This confirms the permanent interest of the scientific and professional community, public institutions acting in the fields of nature protection, environment and health care, public companies, firms, scientific and professional associations, as well as the wide public, for participation and presentation of the accomplishments of the realised researches and project activities. The symposium is an appropriate place for presentation of previous and current activities in the scope of implementation of numerous national, crossborder and international projects, realised with support of the various European Union funds.
Although the symposium is, according to its title, focused on biodiversity, ecology and conservation of Nature Park Kopački rit, it also promotes a wide multidisciplinary approach to the topics from different fields at the broader area of Baranja and Croatia. We are very pleased that scientists and experts from abroad contributes to the symposium.
We are grateful to the faithful sponsors of the symposium: The Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund, Osijek-Baranja County, and Privredna Banka Zagreb d.d., who all recognized the significance of the symposium for the social community.
