Eleven young scientists, as part of the Young Ecologists Support Program by Dr. Ljupcho Melovski, successfully implemented 11 scientific research projects. These projects involve research on biological diversity, as well as projects in the field of environmental protection and raising public awareness.
In the presence of their colleagues and some mentors, the young scientists today presented the reports from their implemented projects at the premises of the Macedonian Ecological Society.
During 2023, tен research projects were implemented as part of the Young Ecologists Support Program “Dr. Ljupcho Melovski.”
Dragan Arsovski, who leads the Young Ecologists Support Program, emphasized his pride that the young ecologists successfully implemented their grants.
“Despite the many activities required throughout the year to implement all these grants, at the end when the young grantees present their reports, I am extremely proud of the successfully completed work. I believe the energy invested in the grants truly pays off and contributes to scientific work in Macedonia,” said Dragan Arsovski of the Macedonian Ecological Society.
Some of those who implemented small grants will have the opportunity to implement medium grants in the next two years.
The event was also attended by the new grantees from the Young Ecologists Support Program, who will implement their grants in the next two or one year.
The Macedonian Ecological Society has always been a gathering place for young scientific minds in ecology and actively works on empowering the youth. Through the Network for Experiential Learning, hundreds of students have the opportunity to learn about natural sciences through experiments they conduct themselves, under the mentorship of workshop facilitators. The MED team is proud that there is great potential for scientific research activity in Macedonian society.
