The Naturally project has officially started!

The project NATURALLY started today, January 29, 2021, and will end in four years, in January 2025. We look forward to the beginning and new challenges! Through the research planned in the project, we plan to answer several important questions:

• Can we use invasive alien plants species in useful purpose to achieve a balance of their positive and negative effects on the ecosystem?
• Can invasive species be used as a source of valuable bioactive phytochemicals?
• What are the best models for the exploitation of new (medical) ecosystem services of invasive alien species in the pilot region of Istria (Croatia) in order to mitigate their negative effects on the environment?

We are sure that we will ask many other questions in the next four years, and we hope to find answers to them.

We believe in our team, its research spirit and enthusiasm! Thanks again to the Croatian Science Foundation for recognizing our potential!
