Dr Roman Nagy
Team Chair, NAEC team - Slovakia
Comenius University, Bratislava
I got my PhD. in astronomy and astrophysics in 2015 at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, where I am currently working as a researcher and a lecturer, in the Division of astronomy and astrophysics at Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics. I teach courses on Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmic Electrodynamics.
I have focused on the kinematics and dynamics of the Galaxy in my research activities, investigating migration of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. I have studied the structure and the kinematics of the Galaxy using GAIA data. I also concentrate on dynamical evolution of asteroids in the Solar System as well as on an action of non-gravitational effects on the dust grains in the Solar System.
I love relaxing in nature and I like hiking in the mountains. I am also a keen photographer, enjoying taking pictures of beautiful landscapes I encounter during my trips.

Slovak Central Observatory
ivan.dorotovicatsuh.sk
I am a solar astrophysicist at the Slovak Central Observatory in Hurbanovo (SCO). I received my M.Sc. in Astronomy and Astrophysics from Comenius University, Bratislava in 1987. Then I joined the SCO and I worked entirely in the field of popularisation and teaching of astronomy for first three years of my carreer. Since 1990 I have been working mainly as a researcher at the Observatory. However, significant part of my time is devoted still to popularisation and teaching activities. I received my PhD. in Astronomy and Astrophysics from Astronomical Institute, SAS, Tatranská Lomnica in 1998. I received post-doctoral fellowship since October 2003 till September 2006 in OGAUC in Coimbra and in UNINOVA-CA3 in Caparica (both in Portugal). I prepared many public lectures, organized several public observations and I regularly submit articles to the Slovak popular-scientific magazine Kozmos published by the SCO, where I am member of the editorial board.

Observatory and Planetarium of Maximilian Hell in Žiar nad Hronom
In the past, I worked as a lecturer and popularizer of astronomy under the dome of the planetarium. Currently I am the director of the Observatory and Planetarium in the middle region of Slovakia. In adittion to popularisation of astronomy I have been dealing with the mutual cooperation of amateur astronomers in Slovakia for a long time.

Deutsche Schule Bratislava - DSB Observatorium
Already as a child I found universe fascinating but the real love to astronomy came two decades later, as my own children found out, how beautiful is the world around us.
My degree in strategic management, Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia (2007) with the two-year post-secondary studies of astronomy in Slovak Central Observatory (2019) is a perfect combination in planing, organizing and executing outreach activities among the youngest population. I am working as an astronomy lecturer in DSB Observatorium of Deutsche Schule Bratislava. Kindergarten and primary-school children in Slovakia know me as Ľubka with "Hello, Universe!" program. Regular astronomy courses for children and public observations are also a part of my astronomy activities.
Children are the best ones, who popularize astronomy in their own families! Pre-school and primary-school astronomy education is one of the keys to a new criticaly thinking happy generation :)
