As a partner in the project "Romania-Serbia NETwork for the assessment and dissemination of the impact of copper mining activities on water quality in the cross-border area" (RoS-NET2), the Western University of Timișoara, through the Biology-Chemistry Department, within the Faculty of Chemistry, Biology, Geography, is pleased to announce the winning project in the final of the prestigious "Regiostars 2023" competition, in the "A green Europe" category, as project with the greatest inter-regional impact.
Under the name of competition "From mine to river. The Water Guardians!”, the UVT project presented the impact of the results obtained through the project RoS-NET2, financed through the "Interreg - IPA CBC Romania - Serbia" axis, carried out between 2019 and 2021 and coordinated by Prof. Univ.

The European Regiostars competition is organized by the European Commission in the format of an annual competition organized to promote and award the best practices in regional development, through EU-funded projects. The competition was first launched in 2008 and was created to encourage regions and local authorities to share their experiences and learn from each other to support the competitiveness and development of EU regions.
UVT rector, Marilen Gabriel Pirtea: "For fifteen years, the EU has been awarding the best initiatives through which institutional actors, organizations, research networks and European universities work together in high-impact projects for regional development. We are honored for the appreciation expressed towards the results of the cross-border project in which UVT was a part, a project carried out by a dynamic and very ambitious team of the Faculty of Chemistry, Biology, Geography from UVT. I warmly congratulate the colleagues in this team, the coordinator of the researchers in the project, prof. Dr. Adriana Isvoran. I am convinced that the award given for the work of the UVT team will be followed by other European applications and projects of UVT funded and appreciated, with significant regional impact."
