August 10, 2009 to August 18, 2009
The XXIV International Conference of Physics Students was held in the beautiful historical city of Split, Croatia based at the Faculty of Engineering, Electric Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB), University of Split. The conference involved about 450 participants from 30 countries around the world, 99 student lecture presentations, 55 poster presentations, 7 guest lectures including one from nobel-prize winner Klaus von Klitzing, 9 medical emergencies and 4 police interventations!
The social programme was very eventful and consisted of a welcome party, Croatian party, National party, costume party, surprise party with entertainment, two nights out, a city tour an excursion with 7 different places to choose from, a farewell party and much more.
The official website is http://icps2009.hfd.hr and contains more information on all of the above along with some videos, clips from the Croatian news and articles from the Croatian papers. The survival guide provided for the conference can be found here.
Many people from the conference have put up pictures and videos from the conference on facebook and two groups have been created for all past and present ICPS participants: “International Conference of Physics Students” and “IAPS” .
GPhyS “Kick-Off ” Colloquium
Les Houches, 20-22 October, 2009
The Gravitation and Fundamental Physics in Space “Kick-Off” colloquium is the first of a series of annual meetings organised by the GPhyS, a federation of 12 laboratories focussing on theoretical and experimental gravitation and fundamental physics, with emphasis on space applications (see the GPhyS website for details). The GPhyS is coordinated and financed by the Paris Observatory for the period 2010-2013. Amongst other activities it will organise an annual colloquium, following those organised by the CNRS group GREX (Gravitation et Expérience) from 1995 to 2006.

Dear Students,
There’s only one week left from registration!!!
The Hungarian Association of Physics Students organises the International Balaton Summer School in Physics.The school aims to introduce the most recent results in five areas of physics:
Astrophysics: The section presents cosmology and extragalactical astrophysics. The topics will be about gravitational waves, super-massive black holes, astrophysical observations and inflation as well.
Biophysics: The section is grouped around biological motion: molecular motor proteins, cellular motion, organ and tissue development,biomechanics, population dynamics and collective motion.
Condensed matter physics: The section shows the diversity of the condensed materials in a wide range of their research and use.Lectures will be about interacting systems, carbon nanotubes, graphene, superconductors and dislocations.
Statistical quantum physics: The section presents the theoretical background of quantum optics, the quantum statistical description of fields, the quantum dynamics of open systems, the interaction of radiation with matter and the quantum statistics of matter fields. These include laser cooling and the Bose-Einstein condensate as well.
Particle physics: This section introduces the Standard Model of particle physics and the experimental instruments.The topics will be about experiments at the LHC, the results of heavy ion collisions up to now, and the physics beyond the Standard Model.
Registration and detailed program on http://bss.mafihe.hu.
More information:The school is located at Balatöngyörök, Hungary (at the shore of the beautiful Lake Balaton).
The date of the Summer School: July 5-12.There will be 5 days with lectures. The final lectures every afternoon will be common plenary lectures,where all of the sections will provide an overview of their most interesting results to everyone.There will be 1 free day, when we organise trips to the beautiful surroundings (Keszthely, Tapolca, Kis-Balaton, …).
Participation Fee: 180 Euros for IAPS members, 200 Euros for non IAPS members.The price contains the accommodation for 7 nights, breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole week,the use of the sport facilities, the entrance fee to the beach and the price of one excursion.Here are some information how you can become an IAPS member https://www.iaps.info/how-to-join/ .
Registration deadline: 29 June
Questions are welcomed at bss@mafihe.hu .Best regards,The organisers
Dear Students,
The Hungarian Association of Physics Students gladly presents the Balaton Summer School in Physics.
The speciality of our Summer School is, that there will be five topics from physics simultaneously. Lectures will be held from Astrophysics, Biophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Particle Physics and Statistical Quantum Physics every day.The lecture will go on simultaneously, however all of the sections will provide a general overview of their most interesting, recent results to everyone.
The lecturers are well known Hungarian researchers, and the participants come from all around Europe, so the language of the lectures is English.
Not only lectures will be on the summer school’s program, but excursions and socialising events as well, including sports, parties, etc. The destination of the excursions will be beautiful places in the region, like Keszthely, Tapolca, Kis-Balaton, Badacsony.
We expect 30 participants for every section, so you can spend these days in an international environment with about 150 people altogether.
We recommend the Balaton Summer School to everyone, who would like to learn about exciting and most recent findings in physics, who would like to get to know students from all around Europe and spend 7 memorable days in this this inspiring and refreshing environment.

Department of Astronomy & Space Physics and Science Association of Students and Postgraduates announce the 16th Open Young Scientists’ Conference on Astronomy and Space Physics. The conference will take place at the Faculty of Physics of Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University on April 27 – May 2, 2009.
The conference is intended for participation of students, PhD students and young researches who are involved in research in one of the following fields:
During the Conference each young participant should present a short report (12 minutes) or a poster (with a poster presentation of about 5 minutes). Besides students’ reports invited lectures are planned.
Participants can present their reports using either multimedia projector or projector for transparent films.
Working language of YSC’16 is English.
The conference programme also includes excursions to the Main Astronomical Observatory of the NAS of Ukraine, Musuem of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine, M.M.Gryshko National Botanic Garden, Kyiv city tour (by bus), Kyiv by night (walking tour) and conference dinner.
In order to participate in the conference it is necessary to submit information about yourself (name, address, institution, affiliation, etc.) along with a short abstract of your report via electronic registration form. The book of abstracts of YSC’16 will be published after deadline and distributed between the participants during the registration
