Network of Young Scientists

The Network of Young Scientists (NYS) – HVIGasTech is a platform of communication
and interaction of young scientists. Not only young scientists financed by HVIGasTech
are members of the HVIGasTech-NYS, but also other young scientists from partner
institutions who work on relevant topics (Figure 1). The network contributes to an
open scientific and multidisciplinary exchange. The main tasks of HVIGasTech-NYS are:

• framework for establishing cooperation,
• overcoming research related obstacles in multidisciplinary team,
• sharing of knowledge and
• creating a structure for introduction and training of new young scientists.

Activities of the network include also organization of annual excursions and joint conference participation.
