Na#onal,  Regional,  European,  Interna#onal  Associa#ons    of    

Physicists  

Ana  Proykova  Faculty  of  Physics,  University  of  Sofia  Member  of  the  Execu#ve  Council  of    

the  European  Physical  Society

Scholarly  (Learn)    Socie#es  

•  Informa#on    

•  Discussion  forum  

•  Professional  support  (journals,  conferences)  •  Sta#s#cs  and  analysis  (AIP,  APS,  IOP)  

 IOP:  18.08.2011  the  number  of  students  taking  the  physics  A-­‐level  exam  has  gone  up,  rising  6.1%  since  2010  and  19.6%  over  the  past  five  years

Revived  interest  is  due  to  

improving  image  of  physics  in  pop  culture  •  Brian  Cox’s  Wonders  of  the  Universe    

•  the  US  comedy  The  Big  Bang  Theory  

OR  

responding  to  calls  from  university  leaders,  businesses  and  the  government  to  choose  subjects  which  will  provide  the  skills  needed

Select  and  join  a  society  

•  EPS  –  a  society  of  socie#es  •  Na#onal  socie#es  –  language,  local  problems  

•  Regional  (Balkan,  Nordic,  ..)  –  culture  and  history  

•  European  physical  society  –  a  voice  to  be  heard  in  decision  taking  at  the  EU  level

EPS  –  structure  &  ac#vi#es  

•  EPS  Divisions  and  Groups,  and  CommiYees  organise  conferences,  mee#ngs,  compe##ons,  and  schools  in  physics  

•  EPS  supports  the  pres#gious  European  Journal  –  EPL  

•  EPS  informs  it  members  via  EPN  (subscribe!)  

•  EPS  started  to  publish  e-­‐EPS  in  the  spring  of    2011  hYp://www.epsnews.eu/

EPS  strategy  

•  The  crea#on  of  the  new  EPS  Young  Minds  CommiYee  will  increase  interac#on  with  the  next  genera#on  of  physicists  

•  Close  collabora#on  with  EU  DG  –  opinions,  strategy  papers,  workprograms  

•  Open  access  journals  –  dialogue

EPS  strategy        (2)  

•  Close  collabora#on  with  the  ac#ve  member  socie#es  to  collect  specific  demands,  ideas  

•  Na#onal/European  society  –  local/EU  global  authority    

•  Individual  members  –    more  –  beYer    to  create  a  vivid  network  with  less  prejudices
