International Joliot-Curie School 2013
The International Joliot-Curie School will take place from 29 September to 4 October 2013 in Fréjus in the south of France.
With the aim of creating and updating the skills of researchers in the field of Quark-Gluon Plasma and Hadronic Structure, this year’s edition of the Joliot-Curie school will address the topic: “A colourful journey: from Hadrons to Quark-Gluon Plasma”. During the school, two sessions will be dedicated to the students’ posters…
IUPAP invites women to attend conferences
The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics [IUPAP] launched for the second year a grant programme to fund the attendance of women in conferences or schools.
Up to 14 grants between $700 and $800 are available. Only women physicists from Eastern Europe or developing countries may apply. Due to limited funding, those who have received a grant in the past, under this program, are not eligible for a second grant…
“Encounters with… Astrophysics”: a day at the Planetarium
The Messina Young Minds Section [EPSYMs], thanks to the financial support of the European Physical Society [EPS] organized a special visit at the Planetarium Pythagoras in Reggio Calabria, Italy. The Planetarium Pythagoras has one of the most remarkable external geodes in Europe.
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences and astronomical phenomena have always had a great influence on human life. Unfortunately, observation of constellations is not possible, due for example to light pollution from city lights, or…
ESOF calls for proposals
The Euroscience Open Forum [ESOF] is a biennial, interdisciplinary, pan-European general science meeting, which aims to showcase the latest advances in science and technology, promote a dialogue on the role of science and technology in society and public policy; and stimulate and provoke public interest, excitement and debate about science and technology.
The 2014 edition of ESOF will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, the 21-26 June 2014 and is organised…
EPS HEP 2013
The High Energy Physics conference of the European Physical Society [EPS HEP] will take place in Stockholm, Sweden from 18 to 24 July 2013.
The EPS HEP is a biennial conference organized by the High Energy and Particle Physics Division of the European Physical Society since 1971. The conferences in this series usually attract 600-700 participants and are part of the world’s largest conferences in its field. Topics covered are: Standard Model and Beyond…

International Cosmic Day 2013
The International Cosmic Day is a worldwide event inviting school students to conduct experiments relating to cosmic rays. Following the success of the first International Cosmic Day last year, DESY, Fermilab, QuarkNet and Netzwerk Teilchenwelt are organising the 2nd edition on 25 September 2013.
After an introductory talk on research in the field of cosmic rays and their discovery, the participants will conduct a cosmic particle experiment themselves. They will make measurements, analyse the data, and present their results…
2013 King Faisal Prize awarded to P.B. Corkum and F. Krausz
The King Faisal Foundation in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, announced that physicists Paul B. Corkum and Ferenc Krausz have jointly been awarded the 2013 King Faisal International Prize for Science. They are recognized for their independent pioneering work, which has made it possible to capture the incredibly fast motion of electrons in atoms and molecules with a time resolution down to attoseconds. The winners will receive their awards at a ceremony in Riyadh under the auspices of the King of Saudi Arabia.The science subcategories cover a broad scope: physics; mathematics; chemistry; and biology…
XXXIII Dynamics Days Europe
The 33rd edition of Dynamics Days Europe will be hosted in Madrid, Spain, from 3 to 7 June 2013.
Since 1980, the yearly conference provides a European forum for developments in the applications of and theory for dynamics. It brings together researchers from a wide range of backgrounds including physics, biology, engineering and mathematics for interdisciplinary research in nonlinear science.
This year the conference will focus on the following topics…
