Journey Full of Discoveries
With support from the European Physical Society and the Czech Physical Society, Klára Doležálková and Ondrej Cihlar, journalists from the Czech radio station ‘Radio Wave” visited various important research centres across Europe. During each visit, researchers were interviewed to provide insight for the listeners of the radio station into the lives of people that work in physics research. Below is the first hand report from Klára Doležálková.
HOPDSS 2018
2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of the European Physical Society (EPS). In this context, and following the success of two previous meetings in Cambridge (United Kingdom) and Pöllau (Austria), the organisers are happy to announce the Third International Conference on the History of Physics, under the auspices of the EPS, which will take place in Donostia/San Sebastian (Spain) in October 17-21, 2018.
Natasha Jeffrey: looking at the beautiful Sun and (much) more
Natasha Jeffrey is an early career researcher in solar physics at the University of Glasgow, UK, a world-leading solar group. She is interested in solar flare plasma physics and studies the largest explosions in the solar system, solar flares, a key component of space weather. She uses both observational tools and modelling to understand how flares accelerate and transport high energy particles efficiently, a vital topic in all high-energy astrophysics. In 2016, she received the EPS Plasma Physics Thesis Prize and in 2017, the European Solar Physics Division Early Career Researcher Award. In 2018, she will receive the European Geosciences Union ST Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award.
The IPPOG Particles4U Competition
Particles4U is a competition for young students and teachers, sponsored by the European Physical Society (EPS), and organised by the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG). We at IPPOG are scientists, communicators, and educators engaged in particle physics outreach around the world. But, sometimes, we need the help of experts, and that is where you come in…
Editorial: EPS a utopia?
EDP Sciences has finished digitizing all of back issues of Europhysics News (EPN). Now all EPN issues are in digital format and with a very good quality.
