A workshop titled “Exploring Pathways for Joint Research" was held at the Scientific Center for Radioecological Research. The event brought together researchers and scientists from the Scientific Center for Radioecological Research, the Engineering Center, the Agrotechnopark, and the Research School of Physical and Chemical Sciences.  

One of the key participants was Joanna Cerazy-Waliszewska, a representative of the Polish Academy of Sciences and an expert in soil bioremediation of technogenic waste contamination. She presented her research on “Phytoremediation of Arsenic-Contaminated Soils Using Plants.”

During the workshop, scientists from the Scientific Center for Radioecological Research shared updates on their ongoing projects. Among them was A.N. Klivenko’s work on developing a technology for accelerated pine growth using interpolyelectrolyte complexes. Third-year doctoral student Dastan Asserzhanov, specializing in chemistry, introduced his research on producing silver nanoparticles using biopolymers. These nanoparticles have significant potential for combating bacterial infections, including conjunctivitis in cattle. Asserzhanov emphasized the ecological safety of his method, which avoids using toxic reagents.  

As a result of the workshop, participants agreed to initiate joint scientific research in the field of environmental bioremediation. This initiative marks an important step in strengthening scientific collaboration between Kazakhstan and Poland.
