Professor Dejan Prelević from the Belgrade University visited the University of Zagreb Faculty of Science from the 11th to the 15th of March 2024. During his stay he had excellent interactions with colleagues from the Department of Geology, with whom he had fruitful discussions about future joint projects. He also gave two lectures. The first one, titled “Reconstruction of the final stages of the Tethys closure in the Balkans and the significance of the Sava-Vardar zone”, was organized in cooperation with the Geochemistry section of the Croatian Geological Society. The lecture presented the results of the international project RECON Tethys. The second lecture “The last 200 million years in the life of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt: a magmatic perspective” was held primarily for 3rd year undergraduate students within the course Geology of mineral deposits. Both lectures were open to the public and were well-attended.
