The fifth EPS Forum Physics and Society – looking at physicists in the marketplace – will be held at CERN, in Switzerland, between 28-29 March next year. The meeting will focus on the challenges experienced by physicists who pursue alternative careers in the marketplace, outside of teaching and university based research.

The first part of the meeting will revolve around the invited keynote contributions, defining the issues concerning physicists who enter the global marketplace. The forum will then split into groups to discuss the different aspects and to draft reports.

Following the meeting, the report will be both submitted to the EPS Executive Committee for consideration and edited for publication in Europhysics News.

Registration will be managed by the EPS Conference Department. For more information, including the forum programme and a list of the keynote speakers, please visit the Forum Physics and Society website.
