First European Physical Society Conference on Gravitation
The first European Physical Society (EPS) Conference on Gravitation took place at the Sapienza University (Rome, Italy) from 19-21 February 2019.
EPS and APS: An ongoing tradition of partnership
The American Physical Society (APS) and European Physical Society (APS) have enjoyed a long partnership. While APS has established Reciprocal Agreements with many of the national physics societies in European countries, an APS-EPS Reciprocal Agreement was established through an exchange of letters in the 1984, allowing the individual members of both APS and EPS to register and present papers at each other’s meetings at member rates.
2019 Vladilen Letokhov Medal
The 2019 Vladilen Letokhov Medal is awarded to Prof. Dr. Ferenc Krausz, Director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) and Chair for Experimental Physics & Laser Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich. The prize is awarded to Prof. Krausz “for his contribution to the development of high-field laser physics, in particular for pioneering attosecond physics, through which real-time views of electron motion in atoms, molecules, and solids have become possible”.
Featured in EPL
EPL publishes original, high-quality Letters in all areas of physics, ranging from condensed matter topics and interdisciplinary research to astrophysics, geophysics, plasma and fusion sciences, including those with application potential.
The 2018 APS/EPS Landau-Spitzer Award
For the development of a new and highly efficient scenario for heating of fusion plasmas using Ion Cyclotron Resonant Heating (ICRH), the joint team consisting of Yevgen Kazakov and Jef Ongena, from the Laboratory for Plasma Physics of the Royal Military Academy (Brussels, Belgium) and John Wright and Steven Wuktich from the Plasma Science and Fusion Centre at MIT (Boston, USA) was awarded last July the prestigious Landau-Spitzer Award.
Season’s Greetings from the European Physical Society
The European Physical Society would like to thank you for your interest and support throughout 2018.
3rd International Conference of History of Physics
The PhysicsEstoire prize was awarded to Jim Bennett on 19 October 2018. The ceremony took place during the Joint 3rd International Conference on the History of Physics, organised under the auspices of the European Physical Society and 4th Early-Career Conference for Historians in the Physical Sciences of the American Institute of Physics, 17-20 October 2018, in Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain.
