Welcome to the BPS Belgian Physical Society website!

As a national physical society, and member of the European Physical Society, our goal is to promote physics and support physicists. For this purpose, we organise a range of activities and membership benefits. On these pages you will find information about membership, and about the BPS general meeting. Also archived issued of B-Phy, our electronic magazine, can be downloaded, and there is a job section for those of you seeking employment.

Due to the rapidly evolving situation related to COVID-19 and the ongoing government guidelines, the BPS Board has taken the difficult decision to postpone the General Scientific Meeting 2020, scheduled to be held on May 20^th in Hasselt. This is disappointing but we have not taken this decision lightly – the health and safety of our members, participants and staff is our priority. 

In the meantime we are considering to organize our meeting in May 2021, also in Hasselt. A new date will be communicated as soon as possible.
