This year the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics took place in Stockholm, Sweden, from 17 to 24 July 2013. EPS HEP gathered together more than 700 participants from all around the world.
Important results from the CMS experiment, ATLAS, LHCb, but also T2K were announced during the parallel sessions and the plenary talks that were organized on the Stockholm University campus.
A number of prestigious prizes from the EPS High Energy Particle Physics Division were awarded during the conference. The Outreach prize, the Young Physicist prize and the Gribov medal were announced and given by Paris Sphicas, chair of the EPS HEPP division. The EPS HEPP prize was handed over to the winners by François Englert and Peter Higgs. After the ceremony, the latter gave a talk that was applauded enthusiastically.
The EPS HEPP division organizing the conference held a board meeting where Thomas Lohse, from the Humbolt University in Berlin, was elected as new chair, replacing Paris Sphicas.

The 17th issue of the International School on Quantum Electronics (17th ISQE) was traditionally organized by the Institute of Electronics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. It took place this year in hotel Festa Panorama, Nessebar from 24 to 28 September 2012.
The first day of the ISQE began with welcoming speeches by the organizers and welcoming remarks were presented by the head of the Institute of Electronics- Bulgarian Academy of Sciences assoc. prof. Sanka Gateva and the chairmen of the Advisory board of the school prof. A. Serafetinidis from NTUA, Greece.
Lecturers from 18 leading laboratories have been invited to present the recent development in five scientific topics:
• Laser − matter interactions
• Laser spectroscopy and metrology
• Laser remote sensing and ecology
• Lasers in biology and medicine
• Laser systems and nonlinear optics
The lectures were structured to start brief overview in the domain for the very young participants and point out the recent achievements and results in the presented laboratory. The final program contained presentations of 18 invited speakers from 13 countries.
The 17th ISQE has been visited by 92 regular participants and 5 accompanying persons from 16 countries. They have presented 79 poster contributions. The young participants (aged under 35) was given the opportunity to participate in the "Best young scientist poster presentation” competition. The competition meets 15 candidates from 5 countries. The International Advisory- and Program- Committees have elected a jury to evaluate the quality of the posters. The organizers were very pleased to give the jury the opportunity to distribute three sets of awards offered to the school by the Optical Society of America, by the SPIE and by EPS. The awards were published on the school web-site along with the nomination criteria one year before the school opening.
