The format of the EPS Forum will include a series of conferences, round tables and workshops on the selected topics:
  • Atomic, molecular and optical physics for quantum technologies
  • Applications of nuclear and particle physics to Society
  • Condensed matter and applications to industry
  • Energy management, pollution and climate; Artificial intelligence, brain inspired processing systems and applications
  • Photonics

    These topics have been chosen by the programme committees below, as they both offer a huge potential for employment of PhD holders and postdocs in physics-based industry sectors and address physical disciplines which have led to seminal discoveries in fundamental science.
