europhysic news BULLETIN OF THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY J.A. Volume 12 Meetings Issue Number3 March 1981 European Journal of Physics Istanbul Registrations A Journal of the European Physical Society published by The Institute of Physics Although no formal dead-line has been fixed for receiving registrations for the EPS 5th General Conference at Istanbul, 7-11 September, intending participants are ad vised to make their reservations early. EPS is in competition for hotel accommodation with all the other attractions of the Turkish resort. Block bookings have, of course, been made in advance for the Conference but these are rapidly filling up. Registration forms are available at EPS organized meetings and at the EPS Secretariat in Geneva. Eur. J. Phys. was created to provide a regular channel of communication between physicists with responsibilities for teaching at the University level. It is concerned with techniques and ideas, with the sharing of experience and the improvement of tea ching methods. It is also concerned with concepts and with problems —indeed with all subjects in physics that preoccupy those who have to initiate the dialogue with the next generation of physicists. European in structure and in outlook, the Editorial Board under the Editor, Professor G.W. Series of Reading University, groups 10 members nominated by the European Physical Society and six by The Institute of Physics. Three numbers have already ap peared and the last in the first volume will be out shortly.

Guide to Entries Europhysics News publishes annually three Meetings Issues: in March, June and November. The June issue contains also a directory section on the composition of the European Physical Society. In the March issue the information received to date is given in full; in the two subsequent issues some entries may be abbreviated and mark ed by an asterisk (*) indicating that full in formation can be found in the preceding Meetings issue of Europhysics News. The present issue contains details of future events about which notification was received at the EPS Secretariat in Geneva by February 1981. They are listed in date order in two categories —Conferences and Schools. Europhysics Conferences, i.e. meetings organized by EPS, its Divisions and Sections are printed in bold type and boxed; events sponsored by EPS are print ed in bold type; Europhysics Study Confe rences are marked by an © preceding the date. For inclusion in the June 1981 issue, organizers should send available details to the EPS Secretariat by 18 May. Organizers of conferences that are Euro pean in concept may apply for EPS spon sorship through the Secretariat.
