In recent years, we faced the problem of gaining the best Slovak students for doctoral study. Dr. Nosko of our Institute feels that the roots of the problem go back up to attracting the interest of primary school children.

In 2017, he also enthused colleagues from several other SAS institutes (Polymer Institute SAS, Institute for Heart Research SAS and Institute of Chemistry SAS), and the project of pupil excursions was born.

The project is intended as a supplement to education for pupils from 5^th to 9^th year-class of primary schools linked to standard subjects such as chemistry, biology and technology education.
In addition to new theoretical knowledge, pupils get practical experience with interesting observations in laboratories in the institutes.
