The European Physical Society (EPS ) is a non-profit organisation whose purpose is to promote physics and physicists in Europe through methods such as
physics outreach . Formally established in 1968,
[2] its membership includes the national physical societies of 42 countries, and some 3200 individual members. The
Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft , the world's largest and oldest organisation of physicists, is a major member.
[3]
Conferences
One of its main activities is organizing international conferences.
The EPS sponsors conferences other than the
Europhysics Conference , like the
International Conference of Physics Students in 2011.

Divisions and groups
The scientific activities of EPS are organised through Divisions and Groups, who organise topical conferences, seminars, and workshops. The Divisions and Groups are governed by boards elected from members. The current Divisions of the EPS are:
Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Division
Condensed Matter Division
Environmental Physics Division
Gravitational Physics Division
High Energy Particle Physics Division
Nuclear Physics Division
Division of Physics in Life Sciences
Physics Education Division
Plasma Physics Division
Quantum Electronics and Optics Division
European Solar Physics Division
Statistical & Nonlinear Physics Division
And the current Groups of the EPS are:
Accelerator Group
Computational Physics Group
Energy Group
History of Physics Group
Physics for Development Group
Technology and Innovation Group
Prizes
The EPS awards a number of prizes, including the
Edison Volta Prize , the
EPS Europhysics Prize , the
EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Prizes , the
High Energy and Particle Physics Prize ,
[5] the
EPS Emmy Noether Distinction for Women in Physics ,
[6] and the
Rolf Wideroe Prize .
It also recognises sites which are historically important for advances to physics, such as the
Blackett Laboratory (UK) in 2014,
[7] and the
