Participants will be given a tour of the research centre and introduced to the laboratories and the work of the researchers. This will be followed by a short presentation on carbon fluxes and carbon in wood as a basis for thinking about 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…

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.
Participants will be given a tour of the research centre and introduced to the laboratories and the work of the researchers. This will be followed by a short presentation on carbon fluxes and carbon in wood as a basis for thinking about misconceptions and truths about wood.
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.

As is customary at the slam, the speakers will try to convince the lay audience with exciting stories about their research work. At the end, the best performance will be selected. Please register in advance at the following link to attend the slam.
In this workshop, we will collect and analyze data using basic statistical methods through various playful tasks, such as rolling dice and conducting surveys. Participants will learn the fundamentals of statistics and acquire basic skills for data analysis through play.
