Description

A research stay at Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Deparment for Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Sciences, and its cooperator Norwegian Institute for Water research (NIVA) will be focused on gaining deeper experience on monitoring of emerging contaminants in marine waters. It is extremely relevant for my work as it is one the leading facilities focused on marine pollution. Furthermore, I plan to learn new methods of data analysis and consult my dissertation. Beyond that, accredited analytical laboratory in my home institution (Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment) could provide support for sample measurements for the host institutions. Establishing stronger relationships with host institutions thus may result in mutual benefit and increase in further mobility.

Summary of project results

A successfully completed shadowing stay at Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Deparment for Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Sciences, and its cooperating institute NIVA (Norwegian Institute for Water research) represented for me a unique opportunity to gain further experience on novel unmanned system for monitoring polar contaminants based on ships of opportunity.
