After Paris in 2022, Berlin will host the second Forum of the European Physical Society (EPS) on March 25 and 26, 2024 at the Henry Ford Building of Freie Universität Berlin.

What is the EPS Forum?

The Forum is an exceptional meeting prepared by all EPS bodies, Member Societies, Divisions and Groups, and Associate Members.

Opened by European Commissioner Iliana Ivanova, the first day (March 25) "Physics meets Industry" will propose various tutorial talks and many round tables on the industrial developments in different fields of physics.

The second day (March 26), starting with a Nobel session, will address the latest scientific advances in the same physics topics. Anne L'Huillier, Klaus von Klitzing, Stefan Hell will be there to deliver plenary talks.

 

What are the topics of the EPS Forum?

The scientific topics of the Forum will cover a wide range of fields in physics:

-   Atomic, molecular and optical physics for quantum technologies

-   Applications of nuclear and particle physics to society

-   Condensed matter and applications to industry

-   Energy management, pollution and climate

-   Artificial intelligence, brain inspired processing systems and applications

-   Photonics

 

Who is the EPS Forum for?

Early-career and senior researchers are invited to participate in the Forum. Young researchers (master, PhD students and postdocs) are particularly invited to come to Berlin, discover the most recent employment opportunities in the physics-based industry sector and exchange with world-renowned researchers.

The EPS will support the travel and lodging expenses of 100 physics students.

Only two months before the major EPS event of 2024! you can still register to participate in the EPS Forum that will take place at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, on 25th and 26th March 2024.

Devoted to a rich variety of hot topics in physics - from atomic physics, photonics, condensed matter physics to nuclear physics and energy management - the EPS Forum will propose exceptional presentations given by industrial leaders and world-renowned physicists together with exciting round tables on urgent societal challenges.

Opened by European Commissioner Iliana Ivanova, the 25th March will be dedicated to the employment of early career physicists. The 26th March will allow participants to listen to talks given by prestigious invited speakers, including the Nobel Laureates Anne L'Huillier, Klaus von Klitzing, Stefan Hell, and Nicola Spaldin, member of the ERC Scientific Council.

The EPS Forum to take place in Berlin in March 2024

Posted By Administation, Thursday 14 September 2023
Updated: Thursday 14 September 2023



The European Physical Society (EPS) is happy to announce that the second edition of the EPS Forum will take place in the Henry Ford Building of the Freie Universität Berlin (FUB), Germany, from 25th-27th March 2024.
 
The EPS Forum builds on the success of the first edition held in Paris in 2022. The EPS joined forces with its 42 National Physical Societies, 18 Divisions and Groups and 40 Associate Members (https://epsforum.org/v1). After more than a year of preparation by 75 representatives of EPS members all over Europe and the EPS staff, the first EPS Forum welcomed 487 participants including 184 students from 30 different countries.

The second edition is expected to gather about 500 participants with a majority of PhD students, Postdocs and early-career researchers. It will include presentations and round-table discussions on the following topics:
·      Atomic, molecular and optical physics for quantum technologies
·      Applications of nuclear and particle physics to society
·      Condensed matter and its applications to industry
·      Physical models for energy management, pollution and climate; neuromorphic computing
·      Photonics.

The EPS Forum represents a unique opportunity to interact with both upcoming physicists and outstanding established researchers including Nobel Prize and Wolf Prize winners. It will offer a series of scientific talks bringing together researchers from all over Europe, CEOs and managers from academic institutions, large research infrastructures, multi-national companies, SMEs and start-ups involved in the above fields of research.

The first day, called “Physics meets industry”, will bring doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows closer to physics-based companies. It will promote research and technological developments carried out in the industrial sector and favour direct exchanges between attendees.

The second day will host a general conference on physics in the same fields, addressed from a more fundamental perspective and featuring high-profile scientists from Europe and beyond. Round-table discussions will also be dedicated to societal issues.

The third day will be devoted to the EPS Council, the Society's annual meeting.
 


Save the dates! The EPS Form will take place on 25th-26th March 2024 in BERLIN.



Students
The EPS will once again support the attendance of students by offering a reduced registration fee and support the travel and lodging expenses of 100 students.

A poster session will be organised to give young physicists the opportunity to present their scientific results.

Organisations and exhibitors
The EPS is convinced that the objectives of the Forum (details at https://epsforum.org), match a number of organisations' and exhibitors' priorities. To promote physics-based companies or institutions at the EPS Forum and to increase their visibility, the EPS offers the following options:
‐ Attend the Forum as an exhibitor on 25th March and/or on 26th March 2024.
‐ Advertise an organisation by choosing a promotional package.

Sponsors
The EPS offers sponsorship opportunities to support the attendance and activities of early career researchers at the EPS Forum and to support the attendance of scientists from Ukraine. These can be tailored to each sponsor. Contact us for more details at secretariat@eps.org.
 
The EPS is actively preparing the second EPS Forum and looks forward to welcoming you in Berlin in 2024!
