EUCYS 2013 PRAGUE

 Vilnius-Frankfurt
Frankfurt-Praha (Praha)
 
Let me start my blog with apoligise of delay. This time is busy, but for you I take some relax minutes and write a little new for you all. At first I want to thank all my blog visitors, who read my blook, look at the pictures or just click on link and go out. All of you reached over 4000 views and for that I was really surprised. And back to the topic. Those two first photos you have seen few weeks back, when I go to Prague and add those photos at the next day they was taken. So then I write nothing for you and feel bad. Now you may know how all ends, but I still write for some of you.
So as you remember I won national etap of European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) and the final of it was in Prague. So my great days was in September 20-25 at Prague city. Love that great town, just sad that I have only few moments to visit some place. I have been only at Cenate of Czech Republic, short walk tour in night old town of Prague and Bethlehem Chapel. Also Incheba Expo palace, where all contest was held.
There is some photos and then more information.
Arriving to hotel with other Lithuanians, national organizers and other contestans.

Incheba Expo Prague palace

My project stand. Some of those flyers will go to States and will be given for some of you. Packing package and send to Maureen Strong with those flyers and my science project copy.

Czech Respublic Senate. Great place with very nice garden, but that was not very important at that time, because then was bascetball final where competing Lithuania. So we skip that event, eat something and go to watch. Sad, we won silver medal.
 
The time in that conest was amazing. I meet some great peoples, young scientists. To communicate with them is great experience, because I get know more about other countries from them point, get to know what they creating, working with etc. But now close to what I want to say. In contest I present science project about daylilies. People very interested in that topic, asked me to present my work in Czech or Russian languages, but I can only in English and Lithuanian. Jury interested also, ask some questions, let me to present my work to them and for other people, who go to contest zone. I have 6 jury members, who come to my work and they all was happy that I work with this.
Opening ceremony was at Krizik Singing Fountain near Incheba Expo. That was the most impresive and attractive ceremony I ever been. Those fountains, who dance with music, people who play with fire like me with pollens and others, which fill that ceremony to awesome event.
Award ceremony was in
Bethlehem Chapel. Program not very luxury, but I love that place. And dam da da da! I won Special Prize of Joint Research Centre for one week in chosen institue. I still reading about them, but now I look only in Italy and Spain institutes.
Free zone, where we can take a brake of presentation near stands. In this moment I send photos to computer and later add in this blog.
