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.
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.

Its success also lies in preserving the heritage of live storytelling, ensuring that it does not remain “frozen” solely in…
First, we will watch a documentary about a specific case of fake science and its consequences. Then, in a relaxed debate, we will talk about the manipulation of research data and ideas that online sources and social networks readily exploit and what the consequences can be. In online communication, we are witnessing an increasing loss of knowledge, an inability to…
Various compositions connected by the principles of topology will be performed.
