5th International Particle Accelerator Conference
The 5th International Particle Accelerator Conference [IPAC'14] took place in Dresden, Germany from 15-20 June 2014. The conference brought together 1,200 accelerator scientists and engineers from around the world to discuss the latest developments in a field that underpins areas of research from high-energy physics to structural biology. As a truly international conference series, the venue for IPAC moves between Asia, Europe and North America on a three-year cycle. Dresden provided a wonderful location for IPAC’14, the second conference in the series to be held in Europe. The programme covered all aspects of accelerator science…
3rd Leadership Meeting of EPS Young Minds
In June 2014, representatives of the EPS Young Minds sections were invited to present and discuss their activities at the 3rd Young Minds Leadership Meeting. These activities range from colloquia presenting research in physics to visits of local industry to a variety of activities sharing the fascination for physics with the public.
EPS Young Minds was created in 2010 to connect young scientists around Europe and support them by training their communication and scientific skills. The goal is to give them the opportunity to organise various events and create a European wide network of young researchers. At present…
