The EPS Forum

The European Physical Society (EPS) joins forces with its 42 Member Societies, 18 Divisions and Groups and 40 Associate Members to organise all together the first edition of the EPS FORUM that will take place on-site at Sorbonne University, Paris, between the 2nd and 4th of June 2022. The format of the EPS Forum will include a series of conferences, round tables and workshops on the following topics:

– Condensed matter physics: from quantum materials to additive manufacturing
– Energy and sustainability, transportation and technology
– Accelerators, high-energy particle physics, nuclear physics
– Quantum technologies and photonics
– Machine learning and artificial intelligence
– Biophysics, technological sequencing of proteins, pandemic, cancer treatments

The EPS Forum aims at showcasing the latest developments in the above fields both from their potential links with the industry and current opportunities of employment for our young generation of physicists and from the most recent achievements in fundamental science.

The EPS Forum will dedicate two days for each of these goals. The first day of this event aims at bringing doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows closer to physics-based companies, by promoting research and technological developments carried out in the industrial sector. The second day will host a general conference in physics on the same fields, addressed from a more fundamental point of view and sponsored by high-profile scientists. Round tables will also be dedicated to societal issues.

This combination provides a unique forum to obtain informative overviews and discuss recent advances in a wide spectrum of topics, to meet in person the most qualified personalities in research including Nobel laureates, and to exchange directly with CEOs, representatives and stakeholders of the industrial sector connected to the above selected topics.

Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Systems: Advances and Applications

The goal of this conference is to explore connections between many-body quantum dynamics, quantum complexity theory, and the use and validation of noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Key topic areas for this conference include (i) novel dynamical regimes and phases in quantum circuits, (ii) quantum simulation, error mitigation, and validation of NISQ devices, and (iii) quantum optimization algorithms and quantum many-body physics. The conference will provide a key opportunity for a targeted evaluation of productive areas for cross-collaboration for scientists in quantum information science, computer science, and condensed-matter physics.

Learning To Discover

Learning To Discover is a program on Artificial Intelligence and High Energy Physics (HEP) to take place at Institut Pascal Paris-Saclay 19th Apr 2022 to 29th Apr  2022, in its beautiful new building. Over the two weeks, three themes will be successively tackled during innovation-oriented sessions of two days each, followed by a three-day general conference on AI and physics.

Since 2014, the field of AI and HEP has grown exponentially. Physicists have realised quickly the potential of AI to deal with the large amount of complex data they are collecting and analysing. Many AI techniques have been put forward, with scientific collaboration based on open data sets, challenges, workshops and papers.

Learning To Discover is a first-of-its-kind program where participants will have access to deep technical insights in advanced machine learning techniques, and their application to particle physics. During the event, blending the concept of hackathon, hands-on and tutorials, physicists who have attempted to apply machine learning to specific challenges in HEP will expose their problem case and the solutions they have arrived at so far. ML experts will expose the latest advances in relevant techniques. Machine learning experts and ML-aware physicists will work hand in hand on existing datasets, building upon and improving existing solutions.Bibliography and open datasets will have been made available months earlier in order to make the event most productive. Under this particular environment, the participants will be able to discuss and understand shortcomings of existing solutions and develop novel architectures and methods to outperform on the specific problem.

13th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC’22)

The 13th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC’22) will be held in Bangkok, Thailand on 12-17 June 2022 at IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, located in Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi Province in the northern part of Bangkok, Thailand. The Center is Thailand’s largest and one of Asia’s biggest and most modern exhibition and convention centers. It is a world-class commercial complex consisting of an arena, convention center and exhibition halls. Surrounded by a wide range of hotel options with standard of service and facilities, choices of top restaurants, food courts, cafes and fast food outlets, supporting facilities, and its convenient location for local transport, the Center is the most appropriate and best option for the IPAC’22.

IPAC is the main international event for the worldwide accelerator community and industry. Attendees will be presented with cutting-edge accelerator research and development results and gain the latest insights into accelerator facilities across the globe. Over 1,000 delegates and 70 industry exhibits are expected to attend this remarkable and noteworthy event. This is a unique opportunity to meet, interact and network with accelerator scientists, engineers, students and industrial vendors.

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, has been ranked as the top destination for global travelers. It is well-known for food, markets, shopping centers and beautiful architecture of historical and religious sites. Many popular beaches are also just a couple hours away.

Amidst the environment of “Land of Smile” with attractive beautiful tradition and culture, Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI) is pleased and honored to invite you to be with us at the IPAC’22 to share knowledge, and experience in a favorable Thai environment for a successful, fruitful and memorable conference.

10th Edition of the Large Hadron Collider Physics Conference

The LHCP conference series started in 2013 after a successful fusion of two international conferences, “Physics at Large Hadron Collider Conference” and “Hadron Collider Physics Symposium”. The programme will contain a detailed review of the latest experimental and theoretical results on collider physics, with many final results of the Large Hadron Collider Run-2, potentially a first glimpse of the upgraded accelerator and detector operation in Run-3, and discussions on further research directions within the high energy particle physics community, both in theory and experiment.

The main goal of the conference is to provide intense and lively discussions between experimenters and theorists in such research areas as the Standard Model Physics and Beyond, the Higgs Boson, Heavy Quark Physics and Heavy Ion Physics as well as to share recent progress in the high luminosity upgrades and future collider developments.
