Professor José Mariano Gago passed away
Posted By Administration, Monday 20 April 2015
The European Physical Society would like to express its sadness at the sudden death of Professor José Mariano Gago.  He passed away suddenly in his home on Friday 17 April 2015.

Professor Gago was a great defender of science, in his home country Portugal, and in Europe. As Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education in Portugal between 1995 and 2002, and between 2005 and 2011, he led wide ranging reforms to improve the research and education in Portugal.

EPS Letter to President Juncker on the Reallocation of Horizon 2020 Funds
Posted By Administration, Tuesday 17 February 2015
Updated: Tuesday 17 February 2015
The European Physical Society (EPS) has written a letter to the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, expressing concern over the re-allocation of funds from the Horizon 2020 budget.

Research and development are key drivers of prosperity, and reducing Europe’s capacity to finance frontier research jeopardizes its ability to develop the future technology that will be important for economic growth, job creation, and addressing societal challenges.  Cutting the Horizon 2020 budget is sending the wrong message to the scientific communities who are essential for Europe's future.  

To see the letter and the attached statement, please see http://eps.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/policy/EPS2015_LetterToJCJuncker.pdf.
