Lecture Notes – Joint EPS-SIF International School on Energy

In order to contribute to the training of young scientists working in the energy sector or intending to do so, the European and the Italian Physical Societies started the Joint EPS-SIF International School on Energy.
The 4th Course, "Advances in basic energy issues", was organized in 2017 in Varenna.
These proceedings will be published soon both on paper and on-line open-access in EPJ Web of Conferences.

Prizes

"Enrico Fermi" Prize 2018

The prestigious prize "Enrico Fermi" has been awarded starting from 2001. The prize is yearly awarded to one or more Members of the Society who particularly honoured physics with their discoveries. A commission made of experts appointed by SIF, CNR, INAF, INFN, INGV, INRIM and Centro Fermi selects the winner/s among a list of candidates and sends the proposal to the Council of SIF for final approval.
