Seminar for SME I.

For a second round of seminars for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) project SOLeNeMaR changed its approach in comparison to the one in 2011. It will visit several enterprises and give seminars with greater focus on the particular subjects that these SMEs are interested.

First visit has been to Zvijezda d.d. (see http://www.zvijezda.hr/ ) on May 21^st . Zvijezda d.d. is one of the greatest producers of oil, margarine, mayonnaise and similar food products in the region. They have a commercial NMR in their lab that is used to control the quality of food on a daily basis. They were particularly interested in the possibility of measuring diffusion by NMR , which is possible in our NMR lab, and not in their company. The group visiting Zvijezda d.d. from the SOLeNeMaR project was Prof. Miroslav Požek, Prof. Hrvoje Buljan and Damjan Pelc (PhD student). In order to present our capacity and the possibilities of our lab, we have presented a seminar titled “Diffusion NMR: Potential for Applications” . The visit was very successful. We have exchanged ideas and established a firm contact that will be used in the future.
