Call for the EPS Emmy Noether Distinction
In 2013, the European Physical Society launched the Emmy Noether Distinction to recognise noteworthy women physicists.
EPS Survey on Open Science & Career Development for Researchers 2018
A survey was addressed to physicists in Europe, asking as many as possible to express their views on ‘Open Science and Career Development’.
3rd International Conference of History of Physics
The PhysicsEstoire prize was awarded to Jim Bennett on 19 October 2018. The ceremony took place during the Joint 3rd International Conference on the History of Physics, organised under the auspices of the European Physical Society and 4th Early-Career Conference for Historians in the Physical Sciences of the American Institute of Physics, 17-20 October 2018, in Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain.
Better catalysts with the help of fine-tuning at the atomic level
By studying materials down to the atomic level, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have found a way to make catalysts more efficient and environmentally friendly. The results have been published in Nature Communications. The methods can be used to improve many different types of catalysts.
EUNPC 2018: over 200 physicists met in Bologna to discuss nuclear physics from meV to TeV
The fourth edition of the European Nuclear Physics Conference (EuNPC 2018) has been held in Bologna (Italy), from 2nd to 7th September 2018.
The EPS Conference Department
The European Physical Society has established 3 different formulas of conference managing for its Divisions and Groups, as follow: Basic Option, Improved Option and All Inclusive Option.
Call for bids to host the Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics Conference in 2021 (NPA2021)
The board of the Nuclear Physics Division (NPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) is seeking candidates to host the 2021 edition of the Conference on Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics (NPA2021).
News from the EPS Young Minds Section in Catania
The main goal of the EPS-YM Catania Section is to create a network of young passionate physicists. In recent years, our section seriously suffered from a lack of student involvement. Hence, one of our missions is to build a virtuous connection between students and researchers, to fuel the curiosity for future studies, and to be aware of the chances offered by the territory.
2019 APS Abraham Pais Prize for History of Physics to Helge Kragh
The 2019 Abraham Pais Prize for History of Physics was awarded to Helge Kragh, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, “For influential contributions to the history of physics, especially analyses of cosmological theories and debates, the history of the quantum physics of elementary particles and the solid state, and biographical studies of Paul Dirac and Niels Bohr, and his early quantum atom.” Helge Kragh was awarded the first EPS Echophysics PhysicsEstoire Prize in 2016.
