Aqua_forensic science+art caffe

Saturday, 07.07.2018.   from 11 to 13:15 h

Aqua_forensic science+art caffe is based on the presentation of aqua_forensic science-art project and opening of public dialoge between scientists, artists, citizens and public policy makers on contemporary underwater pollution with new invisible pollutants.

In causal atmosphere, over coffee the program will include a series of short presentation and a round table where we can discuss together new invisible pollutants (like pharmaceuticals and noise pollution) that we can’t see and thous we are not aware of, and that are being released into underwater habitats, ruining delicate equilibrium of this delicate global ecosystem.
Possibilities of pollution prevention and protection of valuable resources that Croatian economy depends upon – local biodiversity will also be discussed, as well as the role of contemporary art in development of sustainable  society.
