Last week, Split became the hub of European science! As part of the “Science comes to town 2026” project—organized in collaboration with Kiel and Brest—the Diocletian’s Cellars hosted numerous innovators and researchers.

Our PhD student, Luka Čotić (DOK-NPOO_2023-10-7422) , drew significant attention with the BeerBy-4-OliveFly (HRZZ-IP-2022-10-9643) project. In an engaging and interactive way, Luka showed visitors of all generations:

• How to protect our olive groves using eco-friendly methods.
• The latest results in the olive fruit fly monitoring and/or control.
• Why the connection between science and nature is crucial for our health.

A big thank you to everyone who visited the stand and showed that Split truly breathes science!
