After the lectures of selected experts from science and industry, a panel discussion on the topic of greenwashing followed, which gave a critical review of products and services that are presented as green, sustainable and environmentally friendly, but does not reflect this in its results. The moderator of the discussion was lecturer Mario Bačić, and the panelists were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sc. Marijana Serdar from the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Zagreb and Nina Zubac, Expert in Waste Management and Sustainable Development and Filip Margan, founder of ECUBES Hydrogen & Flexibility.

The conference served as another platform for spreading the knowledge on sustainability among student population, as well as a place for representing project activities and motivating students to join in future educational workshops.
