At the end of each year, about a third of the members of the APS committees finish their terms and the American Physical Society [APS] seeks nominations for their replacements.
Self-nomination is allowed. Interested parties are invited to send nominations to the Committee on Committees by using the online form on the APS website or by sending an email to the APS governance.
Nominations should be submitted by 31 August 2013. The Committee on Committees will meet in the middle of…

What follows is a short list of the various activities of EPS Executive Committee and staff for the last month. By providing a summary every month, we hope to inform all EPS’s members of the various ways in which the Executive Committee and Secretariat can provide support.
The Condensed Matter in Paris meeting [CMD 25] will be held in the French capital from 24-29 August 2014. The meeting is jointly organised with the 14th Journées de la Matière Condensée [JMC 14] of the French Physical Society [SFP].
Condensed Matter in Paris will comprise six plenary invited lectures and 15 semi-plenary invited lectures. Bernard Gil (Montpellier, France), Detlef Lohse (Twente, the Netherlands), Felix von Oppen (Berlin, Germany), and…
The Quantitative Methods in Gene Regulation II conference [Gene13] will be held from 12-13 December 2013 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
This meeting, now in its second edition, aims to highlight new biological breakthroughs in this important research area and the crucial contributions from quantitative approaches, both in experiment and modelling.
It will provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers working in a vasts yet strategic field in disciplines…
The European Society for Applied Superconductivity [ESAS] Summer School on “New Trends with Superconducting Detectors” will be held in Genoa from 9-13 September 2013. The school has been organised in co-operation with the Institute SPIN of the Italian National Council of Research [CNR], the University of Genoa, the University of Naples Federico II and the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, under the patronage of the EPS.
The school aims to provide an up to date scientific and technological review of superconductivity applied to…
The Pathway conference will be held from 23 to 26 October 2013 in Bad Hofgastein, Austria.
The Pathway conference is the opportunity for science teachers from all over Europe to meet together with their peers and education experts. Workshops and plenary lectures will be organised under the theme of the inquiry-based science education [IBSE]. Workshops for teachers will be held in English as well as in German.
The conference is the closing event of the Pathway project. During 3 years, materials and resources have been…
