- 24.2.2016. Doc. dr. sc. Zrinka ljubešić gostovala je u emisiji 3. programa Hrvatskog radija Znanost i društvo. Iz najave emisije: "Teme današnje emisije su Jadransko more i promjene koje se u njemu događaju zbog promjene klime. Klimatološki modeli predviđaju daljnji porast temperature zraka i razine mora te smanjenu količinu oborina, manji dotok slatkih voda i hranjivih tvari u Jadransko more. Zbog toga bi trebalo promijeniti načine praćenja i predviđanja promjena. O tome govore doc. dr. sc. Zrinka Ljubešić i prof. dr. sc. Mirko Orlić sa Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta i Geofizičkog zavoda." Poslušajte na: http://radio.hrt.hr/aod/znanost-i-drustvo/150018/
- February 24th 2016 Assistant Professor Zrinka Ljubešić, PhD, participated in the radio show "Science and society". From the announcement: "Themes of today’s show are Adriatic Sea and climate changes. Climatological models predict higher temperatures, as well as changes in precipitation that would influence the freshwater inflow into the Adriatic. Because of the potential consequences of those changes to the ecosystem functioning, monitoring and continuous investigation in the Adriatic is of highest importance. Today’s guests are Zrinka Ljubešić and Mirko Orlić from University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science." Listen to the show at: http://radio.hrt.hr/aod/znanost-i-drustvo/150018/
- 26. – 29.1.2016. Doc. dr. sc. Zrinka Ljubešić i Maja Mejdandžić, mag. oecol. et prot. nat., sudjelovale su na simpoziju: EMBO | EMBL Symposium: A New Age of Discovery for Aquatic Microeukaryote, Heidelberg, Njemačka. Simpozij je organiziran kao odgovor na velike projekte i ekspedicije: Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP), Tara Oceans i Malaspina. Iako su sva tri istraživanja bila usredotočena na morske organizme, kao rezultat dobiven je vrijedan set podataka o ekologiji protista, evoluciji i biogeokemiji. Dobiveni rezultati omogućuju razvoj novih koncepata interakcija virusa, bakterija i arhea. Više informacija na: http://www.embo-embl-symposia.org/symposia/2016/EES16-01/
- January 26th – 29th, 2016 Assistant Professor Zrinka Ljubešić, PhD and Maja Mejdandžić, mag. oecol. et prot. nat., participated at EMBO | EMBL Symposium: A New Age of Discovery for Aquatic Microeukaryote, Heidelberg, Germany. The symposium was initiated by the Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP), the Tara Oceans Expeditions, and the Malaspina Expedition. Although these three efforts focused on marine organisms, they have provided an unprecedented wealth of new data to the broader protist ecology, evolution, biogeochemistry, and model system research communities. Moreover, these efforts are enabling development of new concepts about the interactions of protists with viruses, bacteria, and archaea.

- 6. - 31.7.2015. Dr. sc. Ivana Bošnjak sudjelovala je na tečaju Ocean Optics Summer Course (6.-31. srpnja 2015., Sveučilište u Mainu, Walpole, ME, SAD). Tečaj je intenzivan i interdisciplinitaran, te je Ivana Bošnjak izabrana kao jedna od stipendistica sa punom financijskom podrškom. Glavne teme tečaja su kalibracija i validicija satelitskih daljinskih istraživanja oceana, upotreba nove tehnologije i povezivanje podataka sa terena s daljinskim istraživanjima što je od izuzetne važnosti za projekt.

- July 6th - 31st, 2015 Ivana Bošnjak, PhD, participated in the Ocean Optics Summer Course (6-31 July 2015, University of Maine, Walpole, ME, USA). An intensive four-week, cross-disciplinary, graduate-level course in Optical Oceanography was offered at the University of Maine’s Ira C. Darling Marine Center in summer 2015. This class is a continuation of the Optical Oceanography course first offered at the Friday Harbor Laboratories in 1985 and more recently at the Darling Marine Center. Past graduates are many of today’s leaders in oceanography. The major theme of the course is calibration and validation of ocean color remote sensing. The course will provide students with a fundamental knowledge of ocean optics and optical sensor technology that will enable them to make quality measurements, be able to assess the uncertainties associated with the measurements, and compare these data with remotely sensed ocean color measurements and derived products. The course is sponsored by NASA and the University of Maine, with the goal of preparing a new generation of oceanographers trained in the use of optics to study the oceans.
