🤝 Yesterday in Osijek, Mr Domagoj Mikulić, State Secretary at the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds, officially handed over the very first Subsidy Contract of the 2021-2027 programming period to one of the strategic OSI projects: MOSQUITOLAB! 🦟🔬
With €4.9 million in EU support, MOSQUITOLAB will:
✅ Develop eco-friendly methods to reduce the mosquito population
✅ Build a state-of-the-art Mosquito Control Centre (MCC) in Osijek
✅ Use cutting-edge Sterile Insect Technology (SIT) – no more toxic spraying!
✅ Improve quality of life and protect biodiversity 🌿🦋
Led by the Public Health Institute of Osječko-baranjska County and partnered with the University of Pécs & BIOKOM from Hungary, this 48-month project is a great example of how science, cooperation, and EU support can tackle shared challenges - from climate change to disease prevention. 🌡️🦟🚫
