2023

September 12, 2025: Our 2025 Programs are in the process of being updated

We have learned a lot during the 2022-2023 season. As a result, we have acquired the necessary experience to be certain that our 2025 projects will happen. No matter the state of the pandemic, we have the knowledge and the logistics to get our participants where they need to go and run our programs safely! Also, the Ukraine-Russia War has no bearing whatsoever on Romania (except for the rise in the cost of fuel) and does not affect in any way the safety of our participants and staff.

October 25, 2025: Our 2024 Field and Lab Season has been an outstanding success, in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukraine Conflict, the latter has shown it has no impact on Romania whatsoever.
