ICMFS-2015 – international colloquium on magnetic films
The 22nd international colloquium on magnetic films [ICMFS-2015] and surfaces took place from 12-17 July 2015 in Kraków, Poland. ICMFS-2015 continues the tradition of previous colloquia started in 1964 in London and brings together scientists from all areas of magnetism in lower dimensions. The Colloquium aims at exchange of new results and ideas for advancing the field of magnetism at surfaces, interfaces, in micro- and nanostructures as well as of spin-dependent phenomena.
XIX Training Course in the Physics of Strongly Correlated Systems
The XIX Training Course in the Physics of Strongly Correlated Systems will be held at the International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies [IASS] in Vietri sul Mare (Salerno), Italy from 5 – 16 October, 2015.
The Training Course – taking place in the enchanting Amalfi Coast – is aimed at graduate students and PostDoc researchers, and offers the fascinating possibility to meet selected experts belonging to different areas in Condensed Matter Physics. Every year the Training Courses cover hot topics of Condensed Matter Physics offering to the participants a deep overview from different prospectives (theoretical, experimental, phenomenological).This year the focus will be on The Iron Age: the Pnictide Superconductors.

EPS Energy Group Position Paper
The European Physical Society (EPS) publishes its Position Paper “European Energy Policy and Global Reduction of CO2 emissions: Towards an effective sustainable electricity production in Europe”.
One of the greatest global challenges of our times is climate change. Addressing it requires policies fostering the transition to low-carbon societies and economies which, at the same time, will ensure the availability of sustainable, secure and affordable energy.
The Position Paper prepared by the Energy Group of EPS focuses on electricity production by non-fossil sources. It discusses the leading role of Europe in the broader context of the world energy problem and provides various policy recommendations.
In the context of the Energy Union Strategy and in the run-up to COP21, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to be held in Paris in December 2015, the European Physical Society hopes that this document will contribute to stimulating discussions in order to arrive at a farsighted and effective EU and world energy policy.
