The concept for ERN 2018-2019 will have the same focus, but with two different themes. The main theme of ERN 2018 in Slovakia is “Researchers in us” and for 2019 will be “Try it! It´s SCIENCE”. Active participation of researchers from different institutions focusing on various subjects of research will create great platform for showing young people how lively and impulsive could scientific career be. People will have an opportunity to spend all day visiting different presentations, stands, lectures and discussions, testing scientific applications, and getting in touch with real researchers. Thanks to these direct exchanges and discussions they can discover the ""human face"" of researchers and are more likely to remember their successes or stories."
