The European Physical Society [EPS] Prize for Research into the Science of Light is awarded on behalf of the EPS through its Quantum Electronics & Optics Division [QEOD]. The prize is awarded every 2 years in recognition of recent work by one or more individuals (no more than three) for scientific excellence in the area of electromagnetic science in its broadest sense, across the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves.
The first Prize for Research into the Science of Light was awarded during Nanometa 2013 on 3 January 2013 in Seefeld. Austria, to Philip StJ Russell, from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light…

The 27th Summer School and International Symposium on the Physics of Ionized Gases [SPIG 2014] will take place from 26-29 August 2014 in Beograd, Serbia.
SPIG 2014 is part of a series of events that began 50 years ago as an international conference in the fields of atomic collision processes, particle and laser beam interactions with solids, low temperature and general plasmas. It has become rare that such a wide range of topics is covered at a single conference. As these fields often overlap…
The 30th European Conference on Surface Science [ECOSS-30] will take place from 31 August to 5 September 2014 in Antalya, Turkey.
ECOSS-30 is jointly organised by the Surface Science Division of the International Union of Vacuum Science [IUVSTA] and the Surface and Interface Section of the of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society [SIS-CMD-EPS].
The conference provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances and current challenges in…
The International Conference of Physics Students [ICPS] is a conference organised by physics students for physics students. This annual conference, started in 1986, is the main event of the International Association of Physics Students [IAPS].
ICPS brings together around 450 young researchers from all over the world for a week of learning and exchange. They discuss scientific topics and share information on studying and living in different countries. For many participants it is the first opportunity to present their research to an international audience. As a conference mainly intended…
