Editorial <http://www.epsnews.eu/2011/09/editorial-september-2011/>
*Dear Readers,*
Within this, the 5th issue of e-EPS, you will find news about our on-going
activities, in our now customary format. We have added a new section dealing
with obituaries which are also – alas – to be announced. The renewal of the
EPS website is in progress. e-EPS will, of course, be embedded into this new
website, which will include – in addition to the present information – other
facilities and services for EPS members, and other visitors. In particular,
there will be a special showcase for EPS-related books, scientific journals
and publications; and a brand new directory of European physicists.
The idea is that, through a strengthened connection between e-EPS and the
EPS website, a wider public will be attracted to learn more about who we are
and what we do. The first release of the new EPS web page is anticipated by
the end of 2011.
Enjoy reading,
*Luisa Cifarelli
EPS President*

Passion for Light webcast
<http://www.epsnews.eu/2011/09/passion-for-light-webcast/>
Passion for Light, the Joint EPS-SIF International Workshop which will
launch the idea of an International Year of Light (IYOL) in 2015, will take
place on 16 September.
For the first time with any EPS conference, proceedings will be
simultaneously available in a webcast.
The live, streamed video of the event, direct from the beautiful venue of
Villa Monastero – at Varenna, Lake Como, Italy – will be provided by the
INFN CNAF service. The opening addresses and all the scientific lectures
will thus be accessible on the day from the workshop webpage, where one can
also find the final programme and the booklet of abstracts...
