context_section_description: Peter Baláž organised and is organising a couple of events.
  In 2007 he led test Esperanto summer school Slava Esperanto-Studado (Slavic Esperanto Study - SES). The original idea, in which Peter participated, was an event touring though various Slavic countries and providing to its participants courses of Esperanto language and Slavic culture. But the next year Peter changed the spirit of the event and made it a physical meeting of lernu! users. Accordingly, the organising organisations was lernu!, E@I (as provider of lernu!) and Slovak Esperanto Youth and the name was changed to Summer Esperanto Study, the abbreviation is still “SES”. Since that SES occurred every year in Slovakia and in 2014 additionally in Russia. Peter was the main organiser of all SESes.
  In 2010 E@I took organisation of Conference on the Application of Esperanto in Science and Technology (KAEST) with Peter as the main organiser.
  Peter is also the president of Local Congress Committee of World Congress of Esperanto 2016 (Nitra, Slovakia).
