At the conference, Dean Lipovac met with Dr. Thomas Brudermann, an associate professor at the University of Graz, Austria, who was one of the invited speakers. Dr. Brudermann holds a doctoral degree in psychology and studies decision making related to sustainability transitions and climate psychology. The two discussed common research topics and future collaboration opportunities.

The conference’s goal was to connect students interested in broadening their knowledge about biology and psychology and give them the opportunity to present their research, practice their presentation skills and meet new people.
