The European Physical Society (EPS) is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote physics and physicists in Europe. Formally established in 1968,[1] its membership includes the national physical societies of 41 countries, and some 3200 individual members. The Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, the world's largest organization of physicists, is a major member.[2] One of its main activities is organizing international conferences. Its magazine is Europhysics Letters; its other publications include Europhysics News and the European Journal of Physics.[3]
