Abstract

The Faculty of Mining and Geology, Department of Hydrogeology, is one of 11 participants in the international project “MicroDrink - Capacity building for management and governance of MICROplastics in DRINKing water resources of Danube Region” co-funded by the European Union. The implementation of the project began on 1.1.2024, and the Croatian Geological Institute (HGI) has the role of project leader (Leading Partner – LP). The project was approved in the first call of the transnational funding programme The Interreg Danube Region Programme (DRP) 2021-2027. During the planned duration of two and a half years, 11 project partners
