On Thursday, November 21, the Open Day of the ACTIONr program (Research Action Network for Reducing Reactive Nitrogen Losses from Agricultural Ecosystems) took place at the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology in Larissa.

In the morning, researchers from the program visited local schools, and students from the area visited the Biopolis campus of the University of Thessaly. They had the opportunity to learn firsthand about the researchers' work, led by Professor Dimitris Karpouzas. Through small experiments and practical measurements, students discovered how pesticides affect soil microorganisms and the environmental fate of agricultural chemicals.

In the afternoon, the event moved to the JOIST Innovation Park, where fascinating talks were given by researchers from Greece, France, and Austria.

The day concluded at Baraki tou Milou (The Mill’s Little Bar), where students, researchers, and professors shared ideas and concerns in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The "Beer Talks" served as the perfect finale, fostering collaboration and the exchange of views across various scientific fields.

The Open Day of the ACTIONr program highlighted the University of Thessaly's strength as a hub of research and inspired new generations to pursue science and research.
