Knowledge of neuroscience, access to reliable sources of information, critical thinking, and research skills can help individuals make the right decisions regarding their health and well-being. This does not apply exclusively to students but also to a multi-professional audience that acquires new knowledge and skills and thus refines the content learned so far and goes beyond it. Therefore, the primary mission of the Section of Neuroscience Osijek is to popularize neuroscience by organizing lectures, writing various projects, working in the laboratory, participating in festivals and congresses, translating science-popular speeches, and many other creative ideas – ideas that awaken the senses. The main goal of this lecture is to present our activities and efforts in improving neuroscience education of the public and to inspire and guide others with similar interests towards practical solutions. In addition to educating the public, we contribute to science through various research. The section under the mentorship of experienced professors serves as an introduction to science and critical thinking, where students, for the first time, encounter the creation and writing of projects and scientific papers. Thus students develop experiences in various fields and topics of research. Furthermore, they are encouraged to follow up on various scientific issues and to determine the validity and accuracy of information by analyzing it and identifying it as valid or weak. With the new knowledge acquired through our research and the progress of science, we will strive to provide reliable information sources and improve the public’s neuroscience education in cooperation with numerous experts in neuroscience and other disciplines. With our ideas, we will try to create a healthy and stimulating public opinion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the effects of uncoordinated environmental tax policies on firms' incentives to form bilateral R&D collaborations. It is shown that the complete network is pair-wise stable for small differences in the taxation of environmental emissions. Larger tax differentials may induce firms to abandon all their international collaborations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
