We will present a method for determining the identity of amphibians using photographs: based on the belly patterns of fire-bellied toads or newts, we can recognize each individual—just as fingerprints allow us to identify every human. Sometimes this is quite easy, as fire-bellied toads have a very distinctive pattern of black and yellow spots on their bellies; at other times…
The Europe Direct Koper–Capodistria European Union Information Point will participate in the European Researchers’ Night with a stand offering informational materials about the functioning and programs of the European Union, counseling, the fun board game EU Clues (including a printed floor version of the game that allows participants to play as a human game piece), and an interactive quiz on…
The sheltered area of Simon’s Bay attracted wealthy Romans as early as 2,000 years ago, leading them to build a large harbor and, alongside it, a luxurious Roman seaside villa. Today, its remains can be viewed as part of Archaeological Park Simonov zaliv. During a walk through the park, we will learn about the villa and some of its characteristic…
Using five different archaeological finds (or their replicas) as examples, we will see what conclusions archaeologists can draw about life in the Roman period. What can, for example, a fragment of a glass bowl, a statuette of Victoria, a terra sigillata cup, a brick, or a stylus “tell” us? More here.
Participants will be taken on a tour of the research center and introduced to the laboratories and the work of researchers. This will be followed by a short presentation on carbon flows and carbon in wood, serving as a basis for reflection on misconceptions and truths about wood.
The World Wide Web offers easy access to information but also presents pitfalls. We will present unethical practices in electronic publishing, such as predatory journals, plagiarism, predatory metrics, and deceptive conferences. We will answer questions about how to recognise these practices and why it is not advisable to engage with them or use their resources. We will emphasise the importance…
At the Aquarium Piran, you will get to know the unique underwater world of the Northern Adriatic up close. It is home to around 140 different species of organisms, with fish being the most numerous, represented by about 60 species. More here.

Topology is entering the big door of physics. In this popular science lecture, I will show that topology can be used to represent critical behaviours of nature.
The competition was open to all age groups of educational institutions from all over Slovenia. As part of the main event of the European Researchers' Night at the Minorite Church, the selected works will be exhibited in the exhibition centre below the Minorite Church.
