Naples/Uganda education collaboration

By Elena Sassi. Published on 28 June 2012 in:
Features, , , ,

Gulunap is an educational-scientific collaboration between the University of Naples “Federico II”, in Italy, and the University of Gulu, in Northern-Uganda.

Northern Uganda has major problems with food, health and education, having been devastated by a twenty-year long insurgence by the Lord’s Resistance Army: with over 100,000 people dead, 20,000 children abducted, and 1,200,000 Ugandan citizens left in internally displaced person camps. The Gulunap project focuses on…

Light for Development

By John Dudley & François Piuzzi. Published on 16 August 2011 in:
Features, ,

A central goal of the EPS International Year of Light project will be to promote optical technologies and optics education to improve the quality of life in the developing world – under the theme of ‘Light for Development’.

Light plays a central role in human activities in science, technology and culture. On a fundamental scientific level, light is necessary for the existence of life itself; whilst on a more technical level, light-based technologies will underpin the future development of human society…

Report from EPS HEP 2011

By Pauline Gagnon, Thomas Lohse & Paris Sphicas. Published on 16 August 2011 in:
Features, ,

Impressive results, so early on, and so much more yet to come! This was the prevalent feeling among the 800+ attendees of the EPS-HEP bi-annual meeting, held at the end of July, in Grenoble.

The spectacular performance of the Large Hadron Collider, which within a year has delivered the integrated luminosity milestone of one inverse femtobarn, along with the very fast analysis of the data by the experiments, was a leading actor at the conference. In parallel, with the Tevatron approaching the finalization of its physics program…
