The next EPS Council meeting will be held at CERN, on 30-31 March 2012. The event will be a return of sorts for the EPS – coming back to where the society was founded, 44 years earlier, by its first president, Gilberto Bernardini, the then Research Director of CERN.

The venue for the meeting will be the CERN Council Chamber, where the EPS Constitution was first signed, on the 26 September 1968, by eminent representatives from 20 different national societies, academies and groups; along with the initial sixty-two individual members.

This will be an important opportunity to celebrate the roots of the EPS, while tightening links with the world renowned research institution that is CERN.

The EPS will be replying to this consultation, and welcomes input from its members for the preparation of this response. Comments should be sent to the EPS by no later than 31 August 2011...
