CRO INNOVATORS WIN 10 MEDALS AT INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION IN GERMANY

NUREMBERG, Nov 1 (Hina) - Croatian innovators once again confirmed the high reputation they enjoy among colleagues around the world. An international jury of 15 members from ten countries awarded three gold, four silver and three bronze medals to 16 Croatian innovations presented at the 50th international exhibition of inventions and innovations, "IENA", which closed in Nuremberg on Sunday. Nine of the 16 Croatian innovations were the work of high school pupils. They were chosen among 50 graduation projects, presented in Pula this June at the third inter-county exhibition of graduation projects by pupils studying electrotechnics and electronics. Adult Croatian innovators presented seven discoveries. This year's "IENA" featured 300 exhibitors from 25 countries, and 500 innovations. The Croatian innovators' presentation was organised by the Croatian Innovators Alliance, which received considerable support from the Education, Sports and Technical Culture Office of the Zagreb City Authorities, and high schools from Zagreb, Rijeka, Slavonski Brod, and Sisak. Substantial assistance was also provided by innovators' associations from Pula and Karlovac, and the Technology Centre from Rijeka. (hina) ha
