Meetings and Directory Issue

BULLETIN OF THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY JA. volume9 news Meetings and Directory Issue Number6 June 1978 EPS Sponsorship It seems that there are still conference organizers who become aware too late that their meeting would have been eligible for EPS sponsorship had they applied in time. Organizers and potential participants both benefit from sponsorship, as EPS spon sored meetings are now recognized for their high standard, justifying the ex penses incurred by the participants, and appearing in the coordinated calendar, designed to eliminate clashes of interest. international committee to advise on the scientific programme. Participation should also be truly international, as regards both those attending the conference and the invited speakers, of whom more than half should come from outside the country in which the conference is staged. More over, the international advisory committee is required to see that there is a reason able geographical distribution of the par ticipants. Certain qualifications must, of course, be met. For a conference to be spon sored, there must be new material in the field meriting discussion, and the quality of speakers and papers should be high, as judged by a sound refereeing system. It must be located in Europe, with an It is, in addition, essential that there be no restriction on race, colour, natio nality etc. imposed by either the confe rence organizers or the authorities in the host country. Organizers of conferences which seem to fall within the terms outlined above University of Manchester Department of Physics Applications are invited for the post of RESEARCH FELLOW in the De partment of Physics. Candidates should have a higher degree and research experience in experimental nuclear physics. The successful ap plicant will assist in the research programme of the nuclear physics group and will also be expected to promote his own nuclear physics research interests. The group per forms experiments at Manchester and at other accelerators in the U.K. and is also preparing for re search on the new accelerator at the Daresbury Laboratory. The ap pointment is for t w o years in the first instance. Salary within the range £ 3,660 - £ 7,308 p.a. Superan nuation. Letters of application should be addressed to : Professor W.R. Phillips, Department of Physics, The University, Manchester, M13 9PL, and should also contain a c u r r i c u lum vitae, together with the names of two persons to w h o m reference may be made. Europhysics News is published monthly should write to the EPS Secretariat asking for a form of application for sponsorship. This form should be returned not less than one year before the conference is due to take place. This is in the interests of the organizers themselves, as only by working well in advance can the EPS Conference Committee ensure a logical programme of meetings that avoids overlap and gives maximum notice to potential participants, some of w h o m require at least a year's notice if they are to receive financial backing from the authorities in their own country. If doubt exists whether a conference is eligible or not, contact the EPS Secre tariat as soon as the essential data have been established. Guide to Entries Europhysics News publishes an nually three Meetings Issues: in M a r c h , June and November. In the March issue the information received is given in f u l l , whereas in t h e t w o subsequent issues some entries may be abbreviated and marked by an asterisk (*) indicating that full infor mation can be found in t h e preceding Meetings Issue of Europhysics News. The present issue contains details of future events about w h i c h notifi cation was received at the EPS Se cretariat in Geneva by May 1978. They are listed in date order in two cate gories — Conferences and Schools. Europhysics Conferences, i.e. meetings organized by EPS, its Divisions and Sections are printed in bold type and b o x e d ; events sponsored by EPS are printed in bold t y p e ; Europhysics Study Conferences are marked by an $$ preceding the date. Conference and school organizers w h o wish to have their meetings i n cluded in the next Meetings Issue of Europhysics News should apply to : European Physical Society, P.O. Box 69, CH-1213 Petit-Lancy 2 by the European Physical Society. Closing date for the Nov. 1978 issue is 17 Oct. Even if full information is not by then available, organizers are requested to send what details they already have.
