The Society of Physicists of Macedonia, together with its Skopje Young Minds section, has organised two major outreach events in this 2018/2019 academic year. One was the 42nd “School of Young Physicists” in Skopje with more than 500 registered participants, and the other “The Light Fantastic show” in Ohrid, which completely filled a 600-seat theater, one of the largest events in the Society’s long history.
The association of USMS Young Minds Physics organised a series of scientific and technical activities in the framework of technology transfer and the export of scientific skills to high schools.
This year, 5 SCOPE members visited the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in Teddington, London. For over a century, NPL has been a synonym of excellence, contributing to the UK technological and economic development. More recently, NPL has started expanding to several locations in the UK, including Scotland. The latest is in close partnership with the University of Strathclyde, which prompted our interest and facilitated the logistics involved in our visit. We were welcomed to NPL by Richard Burguete, Postgraduate Institute (PGI) director, and met several NPL PGI students over tea and biscuits.
