The participants of the educational excursion were welcomed by Dr Gražina Skridlaitė, Head of the Deep Geology Laboratory of the Nature Research Centre, who introduced the activities and perspectives of the Nature Research Centre. Later, the company’s employees presented the laboratories (Chemical Ecology and Behaviour, Ecotoxicology, Deep Geology, etc.) and the research being carried out in the Nature Research Centre in order to better understand and protect ecosystems and to sustainably use the resources in Lithuania.
