PhD students Kristina Bunevičienė and Donata Drapanauskaitė have gained experience leading the section “Environment protection and natural resources management“ together with the PhD student Zeinab Hazbavi from Iran and professor Fedro Zazueta from America.

Participation was useful not only because of the opportunity to communicate and establish friendly international relations with the scientists and PhD students, but also to find out about their research problems which are also very close in our contemporary world.
