Main concept of the project was based on the very positive experience from the events in 2007,2008,2009 and 2010 and on the fact, that year 2010 became a real breakthrough in the RN activities in Slovakia from the terms of public perception, participation of the researchers.
2011 project tried to cover the whole territory of Slovak Republic. the project consisted of the mix of main venues in big shopping centres and places like Slovak National Museum as well as observatories, which still attract a lot for people.
