A global congress on acute heart failure - Heart Failure 2025 was held from May 17 to 20, 2025, in Belgrade, bringing together leading experts in cardiology from around the world. Within this event, members of the Polygraph project, which is being implemented with the support of the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, within the PRIZMA program, presented their achievements to date, demonstrating a potentially impactful contribution to modern medical diagnostics. The project was presented at the Science Fund booth.

Visitors to the congress had the opportunity to get acquainted with innovative solutions developed by the researchers gathered around the project, with a special focus on advanced pulse measurement sensors. Through direct communication with the team members, the participants could learn more about the technical characteristics of the device, the potential of its application in clinical practice, as well as the directions of further development of this technology. Participation in the congress represents an important step towards better integration of scientific research into the health system and the promotion of domestic innovations on the international stage.

We invite colleagues to the conference „КОРОЗИЈА 360⁰ – Све стране проблема, једно решење!“ ("CORROSION 360⁰ – All sides of the problem, one solution!"). The scientific conference will be held on Monday, May 19, 2025, starting at 10 AM, at the Engineering Society for Corrosion, Kneza Miloša 9/I, Belgrade.

The conference aims to gather young scientists, researchers, and experts who deal with corrosion and material protection, providing a space for presenting works, exchanging ideas, and networking. Our Institute, proud of its long-standing experience and expertise, actively participates in the conference, both through sponsorship and through lectures by our colleagues – Dr. Bora Jegdić, Dr. Ana Alil, and Dr. Anđela Simović.

On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, a lecture titled "Biomass and lignocellulosic materials as the basis of efficient biosorbents for the removal of heavy metals and toxic textile dyes from wastewater" was held at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Bor. Our colleague, Dr. Jovana Perendija, a Research Associate at ICTM, gave the lecture. This event was organized with the Bor Branch of the Serbian Chemical Society and the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Bor.

ICTM continues to support scientific initiatives and promote cooperation to advance knowledge in chemistry, technology, and metallurgy, and is proud that our researchers are actively contributing to solving current challenges by protecting the environment and promoting sustainability.
