The First African Light Source Conference will take place from 15-20 November 2015 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility [ESRF] in Grenoble, France. It is the first in a series of conferences that will be held in Africa in the future.
The conference will review the status of the African User Base at international light sources with presentations of the African research at Light Sources.
The 2nd International Conference on Enhanced Spectroscopies [ICES 2015], will take place from 12-15 October 2015 at the Palazzo della Cultura in Messina, Italy.
Following the previous editions of ICES 2012 in Porquerolles (France) and SES 2014 in Chemnitz (Germany), ICES 2015 will bring together scientists experts in the field of plasmon enhanced spectroscopies and plasmonics coming from all around the world, to share their latest results, put forward open questions and address future developments in the field.
The EPS works to support its members. Find below the list of activities of the EPS Executive Committee and staff for August 2015:
10 August: John Dudley, EPS vice-president, represented EPS at an international summer school in Tampere, Finland, presenting progress on IYL2015.
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.
The conference on Light in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2015 [LNN'2015] will take place in Hissar, Bulgaria, from 19-22 October 2015. LNN’2015 is dedicated to the International Year of Light 2015.
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.
The international meeting “Challenges in Data Science: a Complex Systems Perspective” will be held from 14-17 October 2015 at the Castello del Valentino, UNESCO Site and Faculty of Architecture of the Politecnico di Torino
How can we target and eliminate existing blind spots concerning the importance of sex and gender in science and research? How can the contribution and potential of the gender dimension to scientific excellence and innovation more purposefully be taken into account for the benefit of science and research as well as research policy at national and European level?
