New Associate Members enter the EPS
Many of Europe’s leading research centres and corporations are Associate Members of the European Physical Society [EPS]. Contributions from Associate Members are used to sponsor prestigious prizes, such as the EPS Edison Volta Prize for outstanding contributions to physics. The EPS Technology and Innovation Group actively encourages Associate Members to take part in technology foresight seminars. As Associate Members, research centres, corporations and universities contribute to EPS activities in fields including education, communication and publication.
The EPS is pleased to welcome Edison SpA, Europe’s oldest, and Italy’s second largest electric company as a new Associate Member. Based in Milan, Edison SpA views research, development and technological innovation activities as essential tools to win the global challenges. Edison SpA is one of the co-founders of the EPS Edison Volta Prize and endows the prize with a substantial contribution.
The EPS is also pleased to welcome the Ioffe Physical Technical Institute as a new Associate Member. The Ioffe Institute is one of Russia’s largest institutions for research in physics and technology with a wide variety of operating projects. It was founded in 1918 and run for several decades by Abram F. Ioffe. So it is quite natural that the Institute bears the name of this outstanding scholar and organiser.
More information on all EPS Associate Members can be found on the EPS website.
