Prva transnacionalna radionica projekta SCAN-DANUBE održana je 11. i 12. septembra 2025. godine u BFW – Austrijskom istraživačkom centru za šume u Beču. Događaj je okupio predstavnike svih projektnih partnera, pridruženih strateških partnera i drugih relevantnih aktera.
Prvog dana radionice, program je održan u prostorijama BFW-a. Jutarnja sesija bila je namenjena projektnim partnerima i bavila se pregledom predstojećih aktivnosti komunikacije i njihovom implementacijom na nacionalnom nivou. Lideri aktivnosti predstavili su izvještaje o realizovanim koracima u okviru projektnih komponenti, nakon čega je uslijedila konstruktivna diskusija i dogovor o daljim tematskim onlajn sastancima.
Drugog dana, učesnici radionice posjetili su BFW eksperimentalni vrt u Tulnu, gde su upoznati sa inovativnim pristupima i praksama u proizvodnji sjemena i sadnica, posebno u okviru austrijskog nacionalnog projekta QEsche. Stručnjaci su demonstrirali tehnike vegetativnog razmnožavanja i kalemljenja, kao i postupke za očuvanje poljskog jasena kroz selekciju stabala na terenu, sakupljanje sjemena, pripremu, sjetvu.
Šumarski fakultet Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci predstavljali su:
prof. dr Branislav Cvjetković, projektni koordinator; prof. dr Milan Mataruga, koordinator za komunikacije; kao i članovi projektnog tima: prof. dr Vojislav Dukić, prof. dr Vladimir Stupar, viši asistent Ranko Vasiljević i viši asistent Srđan Bilić.
Njihovo učešće doprinijelo je jačanju regionalne saradnje, razmjeni znanja i zajedničkoj realizaciji projektnih aktivnosti usmjerenih na zaštitu i očuvanje vrijednih šumskih vrsta u Dunavskom slivu.
