RFS proposes

n-1

Within a three year period, RESEARCH FOR SOCIETY will strengthen the EU-CONEXUS research approach into a fully-fledged university service, equally covering research, education, and societal needs.

n-2

RFS researchers actively invite partnerships with coastal industries, businesses, and society actors to ensure the transfer of knowledge and the improvement of quality of life in and around coastal areas.

n-3

Across the nine EU-CONEXUS partner institutions, our researchers will be developing science and innovation into a hub of excellence on smart urban coastal sustainability, and in the process, creating an attractive career environment for our students.

The Professional #EUCONEXUS Minor course Introduction to 🌊 Underwater Archeology is taught by Prof. Irena Radic Rossi from University of Zadar🇭🇷. In addition to the theoretical part of the course, which is taught online, #students will have the opportunity to visit #archeological site in shallow water in #Croatia (Caska, Pag Island near Zadar) and experience working in the field.
