Science Workshop for Young Minds
The EPS Young Minds Section is now planning its 2nd Science Workshop for Young Minds in late 2013 or 2014, and is asking for volunteers and ideas!
The first “Science Workshop for Young Minds” [SWYM] was held in September 2012 in cooperation with the Institute of Photonic Sciences [ICFO] and involved a week full of activities for high school students interested in optics, photonics and sciences…
An academy to promote inquiry-based science education
In early July, the European Physical Society [EPS] brought together in Panormo, Greece, experts in science education for a workshop to define the framework for the development of the European Science Education Academy [ESEA].
In 2009, a meeting was held under the auspices of the EPS to discuss among stakeholders how to better coordinate activities in physics education. The participants recognised the need to work together on issues such as ensuring high-level pedagogic content and to increase teachers’ effectiveness in schools. The promotion of a…
MPTL’18
The 18th edition of the Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning Workshop [MPTL'18] will be held from 11-13 September 2013 in Madrid, Spain.
MPTL’18 the latest of a series of workshops held annually since 1996. The workshop intends to favorise the exchange of information and ideas about the use of multimedia in physics teaching and learning.
The first plenary talk of MPTL’18 will focus on designing multimedia for teaching and learning physics and…
ACAT 2013
The 15h International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research [ACAT 2013] will be held in Beijing, China, on 16-21 May 2013. The Institute of High Energy Physics [IHEP] will host the workshop.
This workshop is the latest of a series created in 1990. Its main purpose is to bring together researchers working in the field of computing. It has established bridges between physics and computer science research, facilitating the advances in the understanding of the Universe at its smallest and largest scales…
Biomolecules and Nanostructures 4
The Biomolecules and Nanostructure 4 [Bio&Nano4] meeting will take place in Pultusk, Poland, from 15 to 19 May 2013. It is the 4th edition of a series of workshops that began in 2004.
The key topics of the workshop will cover current subjects at the crossroads of molecular biology, physics and chemistry, including biomolecules, nanostructures, nanomachines and biosensors. The specific topics of the conference include: single-molecule manipulation, supramolecular assemblies and aggregates, interactions…
EPS-TIG workshop: Collaborations for technological developments
The EPS Technology and Innovation Group [TIG] held a three-day workshop, focusing on the ongoing and projected R&D and technological innovations in physics research and its spin-offs to society. This workshop is a result of the renewed commitment of the EPS to study the relationship between physics research and innovation and technology.
The EPS-TIG workshop was organised by the EPS TIG Chairman, Horst Wenninger and by Manjit Dosanjh, CERN’s Life Sciences Advisor in CERN’s Knowledge Transfer [KT] Group and member of the TIG…
