EPS Emmy Noether Distinction: nominate an outstanding physicist
In 2013, the European Physical Society [EPS] launched the Emmy Noether Distinction to recognise noteworthy women physicists.
Emmy Noether was an influential theoretical physicist, and a role model for future generations of physicists. The laureates of the Emmy Noether Distinction are chosen for their capacity to inspire the next generation of scientists, and especially encourage women to handle careers in physics.
The previous recipients of the Emmy Noether distinction are:
VII EPS Forum Physics and Society: “Getting the Diversity Balance Right in Physics”
The VII EPS Forum Physics and Society will take place from 26-28 October 2016 at the Institute of Physics in London, United Kingdom. It is organised by the European Physical Society in collaboration with the Institute of Physics.
A new tool to find R&D partners
Labs Explorer is a specialised search engine with more than 100, 000 referenced laboratories. This free to use tool is designed to find R&D partners, to help laboratories showcase their expertise and market their services. The laboratories are both private and academic organisations in Europe and beyond. For a wide range of expertise, the search engine delivers an instant and relevant list of laboratories. Access to the search engine is open to everyone and doesn’t require any registration.
