Editorial, March 2019,

At the forthcoming 2019 EPS Council Meeting, in the magnificent city of Split on the Adriatic, my term as President of the European Physical Society will come to an end.

I am often asked, “what were the challenges, and what were the highlights?”, and there is no easy answer to this simple question.

The European Physical Society (EPS) is an umbrella organisation and learned society gathering 42 Member Societies representating 130,000 physicists. It involves more than 3500 individual members, 17 Divisions and Groups and more than 40 Associate Members. So far, the current Associate Members have mostly consisted of small-sized companies, universities or governmental organisations.

Editorial: A strong passion for science

By Lucia Di Ciaccio. Published on 22 May 2018 in:
Editorial, May 2018, , , , , ,

The first time I heard about “Emma” Noether was in the course of Fisica Teorica by Nicola Cabibbo at the Rome University. It was an inspiring “discovery” for two reasons. The first is because the Noether theorem we were taught is beautiful, elegant and foundational, the second because “Emma” was finally a woman in a male dominated discipline.

December 2017, Editorial, News, , ,

When you think of your own future, you tend to focus on one word in particular: investment (I accept that you may have another word in mind, but for the sake of the story let’s stick with this one). For many scientific organizations and professional societies, such as the EPS, investment in people is clearly of paramount importance and investment in talented young people is a shared vision for many of its members and groups.
