2012 EPS University Student Fellowships
Three University Student Fellowships – of 2,000 euros each – are available from the European Physical Society [EPS] in 2012. The EPS fellowships are given to promising young physics students in recognition of academic excellence.
Applicants should be enrolled, at a European institution, in a physics – or related – degree course at the Masters level (second cycle: post-Bachelor, pre-PhD), or equivalent. Third cycle students and previous EPS fellowship recipients are not eligible…

Demographic noise can lead to the spontaneous formation of species
by T. Rogers, A. J. McKane & A. G. Rossberg
“When a collection of phenotypically diverse organisms compete with each other for limited resources, the population can evolve into tightly localised clusters. Past studies have neglected the effects of demographic noise and studied the…
EPS Individual Member travel grants
A limited number of grants are available for European Physical Society [EPS] Individual Members to attend EPS Europhysics and sponsored conferences.
Those with an accepted oral or poster contribution to the conference are eligible. Grants are only available to Individual Members whose membership fee payments are up-to-date; only one grant will be awarded per person per year. Applications should be made at least two months before the conference in question…
