International scientific cooperation

The laboratory actively participates in the international scientific cooperation programs with the following organizations:
–    University of South Florida, Faculty of Geology (USA);
–    University of Leeds, School of Earth and Environment; Durham University, Department of Earth Sciences (England);
–    Curt Engelhorn Centre for Archaeometrics, Mannheim; Christian-Albrecht University, Kiel, Earth Sciences Institute; Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (Germany);
–    Utrecht University, Department of Earth Sciences (The Netherlands);
