Associate Members of the European Physical Society
The European Physical Society provides a forum for physicists from all sectors to come together to discuss common issues in physics. The EPS counts among its members 42 National Physical Societies, over 3000 Individual Members, and more than 40 Associate members.
News from Switzerland
The SPS-Communications are published three times per year. We report in Nr. 53 of November 2017 about the SPS annual meeting in August 2017 in Geneva, a joint meeting with the Austrian Physical Society ÖPG.

First proposal about WWW from 1989
Exactly 25 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal addressing the complex issue of information management at CERN. The project was based on linked information using hypertexts. Revolutionising the idea of archiving documents, it laid the foundation of the Internet.
In 1984, Tim Berners-Lee took up a fellowship at CERN, 8 years after his graduation from the Queen’s College at Oxford University, United Kingdom. His first job there was related with the distributed real-time systems for scientific data acquisition and system control. In this context T. Berners-Lee submitted the proposal that would provide…

Download the EPS calendar
The European Physical Society [EPS] has produced a nice do-it-yourself calendar in 3D. The EPS 2014 calendar is a polyhedron with 20 faces including triangles and (almost) squares.
To the best results, print the file using A3 paper (297 × 420 mm or 11.7 x 8.3 inches).

Season’s greetings
I would like to take this opportunity of wishing all the readers of e-EPS a very happy holiday season, and extend my best wishes for the New Year 2014. I would also like to reflect a bit on 2013, and how the European Physical Society [EPS] has evolved over the past year.
It is no secret to scientists that the European Commission and the European Parliament have and will continue to shape science policy in Europe. This sets scientists a bit apart from other citizens in Europe, who see Europe as another bureaucratic layer. The EPS has fully embraced the challenge of constructively interacting with European policy makers, organising many point to point meetings with senior EC officials, and providing input into European science policy.

POPA-CSIS Workshop exploring Nuclear Reductions after New START available
In February 2013, the Panel on Public Affairs of the American Physical Society [POPA] and the Center for Strategic & International Studies [CSIS] organised a workshop to study the technical and policy challenges associated with reducing the non-strategic nuclear weapons [NSNWs] currently deployed in Europe and Russia, commonly referred to as “tactical nuclear weapons”. The workshop focused on a discussion of policy and technology aspects of a hypothetical agreement between the US and Russia…
