On the 2014 to-do list: join the EPS
Since 1968, the European Physical Society [EPS] has provided a forum for physicists from around Europe to meet and develop activities. Ranging from community building to promoting scientific excellence, from sponsoring the next generation of leaders in physics to policy input, the EPS welcomes all interested and motivated physicists to become members.
As an Individual Member, you have the following privileges…
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.
