15th European Solar Physics Meeting (ESPM-15)
The 15th Conference of the ESPM Series was very successfully organised in the premises of Budapest’s Eötvös-Loránd University in early September 2017. The triennial meeting series brings together the European and a significant part of the international solar physics community for a week of intense interaction and debate that redefines, often reshaping, the field’s state-of-the-art. ESPMs are assigned to a local organizer via a highly competitive bidding process and are coordinated by the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD), a joint Division of the European Physical Society and the European Astronomical Society. The ESPD values highly the geographical distribution of ESPMs, having assigned their venues in twelve (12) different European countries so far.

Editorial – From Particles to the Cosmos at EPS HEP 2017 in Venice
Close to a thousand physicists from all over the world gathered in July 2017 at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP) in Venice, Italy. The HEPP division of the EPS played the role of the International Organising Committee and the conference was organised by Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padova.
EPS Emmy Noether Distinction Spring-Summer 2017 for Women in Physics
It is a great pleasure to announce that the Spring-Summer 2017 EPS Emmy Noether Distinction for Women in Physics goes to Dr. Catalina Curceanu from the Frascati National Laboratory of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Research (LNF-INFN).
EPS Physics for Development Group goes back to school
EPS’s primary mission is to “contribute to and promote the advancement of physics, in Europe and in neighbouring countries”, but given the extent to which international collaborations play such an important role in European scientific production—as show up by bibliometric data — it is not entirely outside that mission to look well beyond European borders and help “foster a global research and education system,” taking a phrase from the Second European Report on Science and Technology Indicators.
EPS president-elect – Call for nominations
A number of vacancies will arise on the European Physical Society [EPS] Executive Committee in 2018, including the position of President-elect.
