The planned project workshop was held on March 20, 2026, together with the national meeting of the Czech chapter of the International Humic Substances Society. The project’s aims and results were thus placed in the broader context of soil and natural organic matter. Simultaneous interpretation enabled Ukrainian team members to connect via the internet.
