The space science and engineering at the Department of Space Physics (DSP), Institute of Experimental Physics, Slovak Academy of Sciences have almost 60 years long tradition. Even though the general awareness of these space activities, especially among the young generation, is on a very low level. But the future of the DSP and its participation in the future space science and engineering activities just depend on the involvement of the young talented people. The main objective of the ESA / PECS, SPACE::LAB, project is to ATTRACT young generation with passion for SPACE, to create a platform where the scientist could EDUCATE the attracted community directly in their LAB, and to INVOLVE the best students to the actual space science & engineering projects.
