Science lives also in today's unusual times and crosses the borders even though the physical borders are closed. In the period May 12-15, 2020, European Control Conference 2020 takes place. For the first time in the history of the event, it is held virtually and thus the conference can be open to the participation of the whole world.

The science is not excellent on its own. It is a must that the members of the scientific community devote their time (usually voluntarily) to judge on the scientific outcomes of their colleagues. This way the presented methods and results are greatly improved. Dr Radoslav Paulen was recognized for his reviewing work by a renowned international journal Optimal Control Applications and Methods (OCAM).
