On 5 May 2023, the College of Interdisciplinary Individual Studies hosted scientists from the Icelandic Institute of Natural History (IINH). The visit took place as part of the \u2018Islands of Knowledge\u2019 project, which aims to develop a culture of quality in the education sector by diagnosing, planning, developing, and implementing the concept of university education based on universal design, inclusive and personalised education, as well as the training of key skills from the point of view of socio-economic needs and the competencies necessary for students and graduates of the University of Silesia in Katowice to adapt freely to changing times.<\/p>\n
A key point of the visit was the lectures conducted by scientists working in biotechnology, botany, evolutionary biology, and marine biology.\u00a0 They talked about the extremely important role of trees in our climate, the equally important role of microorganisms in environmental research, and the institutions leading the way towards nature conservation.<\/p>\n
Event participants received seedlings, which are a small contribution to changing the climate for the better.<\/p>\n
