New EPS Historic Site in Prague dedicated to Ernst Mach

March 2016, News, , , ,

2016 marks the centenary of Ernst Mach’s death.

Once accepted, the administrative and design planning for the plaque could begin. Indeed, the historical building, the former Institute of Physics, is located in the UNESCO protected Old Town of Prague, recognised by UNESCO’s cultural heritage programme, where patience and attention to details is required.
