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.
