The three-day course was aimed at students from bachelor\u2019s to PhD level, and included participants not only from Montenegro but also from Croatia, another EMBL member state.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop, run by EMBL group leader Detlev Arendt, project manager Francesca Stomeo, and postdoc Phil Oel, introduced students to single-cell dissociation methods in marine animal models: a first step towards studying organisms at single-cell resolution. These approaches allow biologists to characterise cells and tissues from a broad range of organisms, and to chart the natural diversity of animals in ecosystems worldwide. This equips the students with skills that are widely used in biological and biomedical research, both in academia and industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe workshop was very intensive and involved several long days,\u201d says Oel, \u201cso we were really impressed by the excitement, dedication, and commitment shown by the students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe intention was to share good practice and increase the students\u2019 knowledge and practical skills,\u201d says Danilo Mrdak, one of the EMBL Council delegates from Montenegro. \u201cWe also wanted to present some of the opportunities arising in this research area from our membership of EMBL. We hope that some of the students will soon make a return visit, to experience the services and training available to them at the EMBL sites.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17689 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/events\/fostering-links-with-montenegro\/attachment\/20190909_113549\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20190909_113549-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17701\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17701'>\n\t\t\t\tWorkshop participants on the terrace of the Marine Biology Institute in Kotor.

The exhibition, called <em>Bio-Cosmos<\/em>, featured 20 of the most impressive science images from EMBL\u2019s groups and sites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur intention was to present the life sciences in a different light: attractive not only to specialists but also to those who are not trained in science \u2013 or not yet,\u201d explains EMBL Council delegate Djurdjina Bulatovic. \u201cOur expectations were fully met, as we observed the highest level of interest and enthusiasm among the youngest visitors and their parents. The exhibition was a significant step forward in terms of promoting the life sciences in our country, and it was made possible thanks to our EMBL membership and the willingness of EMBL to engage in outreach activities like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-17689 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/events\/fostering-links-with-montenegro\/attachment\/63_bg\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/63_bg-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-17710\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-17710'>\n\t\t\t\tSanja Damjanovi\u0107, Minister of Science of Montenegro, with Michael Hoch (CERN) and Christine Toudic, French Ambassador to Montenegro, at the exhibition opening.
