Our communities
Meet and have a great time together
ERNI communities boost team performance and play an important role in employees getting to know each other at ERNI. This is especially true across different departments and project teams.
In general, a community at ERNI is a group of people who share a common interest in technology, outdoor activities, gaming, etc. Basically, it can be anything. The main point is to meet and have a great time together.

Hiking Club
The Hiking Club connects ERNIans in Slovakia who are passionate about exploring the beautiful Slovak mountains. Moreover, hiking is one of the best activities to improve our mental and physical health. Currently we are around twelve active members who regularly pack their backpacks and good mood and go for hikes of varying difficulty.
Bike Club
We are a group of road cyclists, cross or gravel bikers, mtb and downhill riders. We plan trips after work, in the direction of Železná or Koliba, but also a weekend ride outside the Little Carpathians. Every kilometer counts, that’s why we use app strava for tracking – “what is not recorded on strava, as if it did not happen”.
Coffee Buyers Club
In the Coffee Buyers Club, we do buy and make coffee – but not in a boring office way. Rather, we take it to extremes: we get specialty-grade coffee, weigh the necessary amount with precise scales, grind it with a burr grinder and brew it with treated soft water via special brewing equipment according to different filter recipes we try out. The whole process looks like a scene from a laboratory. As a result, we get to enjoy well-deserved beverages which impress us with a wide range of flavours and bring lots of joy and mild but lasting energy. And the brewing time goes by quickly while spending time with great colleagues and having our typical small talk. The brewing itself has become a great daily ritual to start each new day. It is a great skill to develop since coffee is a rich and engaging hobby from a scientific, connoisseurial, industrial or any other perspective.
Board Games Night
The board games event takes place directly at the ERNI office in Bratislava and attracts people who crave to play good old-fashioned board games. And there are plenty to choose from. Computer games are no match for these classic tabletop games where you can really feel the game and emotions. There is no regular schedule; we pick a date and meet when we feel it’s the right time. We gather at the ERNI Bratislava office, which boasts a wonderful view of Bratislava castle. We bring some beverages, order pizza, vote for the game menu of the day and start playing. We usually play several different games in one session, starting with the easiest ones (or the quickest ones), and the last game is always the most complex. It’s not always the players we have to beat – sometimes it’s the game itself.
Climbing Club
We are a community of climbers with different climbing skills. We teach new members and non-climbers the basics of climbing and belaying. We go climbing together on top rope, lead, and bouldering. Together we improve and conquer climbing problems. Our main goal is to climb and have fun.
Running Club
We are a community focused on running activities, but triathletes are also welcome. We participate in running races in the area, such as the ČSOB marathon, the Devín-Bratislava run, as well as trail races such as the Moon run. When there are no races right now, we can motivationally compare results on app strava (and wonder what some people are capable of).
3D Printing club
Our community offers printing and preparation of models on our in-house 3D printer. We share experiences and ideas on how to improve the quality of the models – this sometimes borders on alchemy. Of course, without maintenance and improvements, the printer wouldn’t work for long, so we take care of that aspect as well. We are willing to help anyone who has no printing experience but has good (or even less good) ideas.
Inline night Club
Skating at night on the dam with a headlamp on your head, good music, community, and refreshments under the stars – I guess this is how the “Inline” community could be characterized in a nutshell. We go from Starý Most (Old Bridge) in Bratislava, with regular breaks at the buffets, to the buffet by the polder, where we turn around. Not having skates is not a barrier to membership, we are routinely joined by fellow cyclists.
Badminton club
Fast movement, tactics, technical skill, endurance, explosiveness, strength, fun – you will find it all in the game; badminton. The club currently has 12 members, 6 categories of player levels, an easy way to charge credit and a clear excel with our expenses.
CS Club
According to an ADL study, up to 74% of CS:GO players have experienced bullying while playing. You don’t get bullied by 14-year-olds. Play with your peers. Join and be bullied by your colleagues (teenagers trapped in old bodies). We joke around, there’s always good cheer and pizza (even gluten free).
