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.

Registration is closed. 

The final programme is available from this link. 

Practical info on the location of the meeting can be found here.

As every year the BPS offered several prizes to young scientists during the closing ceremony of the Scientific Meeting 2019. The winners of these prizes are:

• Best Master Thesis Prize in the academic year 2018-2019 (no ranking):

                Jeroen Hustings (UHasselt): "Investigation of High-Spin Isomers in Neutron-Rich Indium Isotopes Using Collinear Resonance Ionisation Spectroscopy"

              Tom Vieijra (UGent): "Machine learning approaches to strongly correlated spin systems"            

A nice picture to summarize a nice day.

Thanks to all the participants!

Registration and Abstract submissions are open for the 2019 BPS Annual Scientific Meeting which will take place at ULB on May 22.

All the information can be found at the BPS 2019 Conference page.

Some important deadlines:

• 12th of April: deadline for young speaker and poster contest applications
• 30th of April: closing of call for abstracts
• 8th of May : deadline for early registration

This year plenary speakers are:

• Prof. Vladimir Tikhonchuk (Centre Lasers Intenses et Applications, University of Bordeaux, France and Extreme Light Infrastructure, Prague, Czech Republic ) about intense lasers
• Prof. Hamid Abderraim (SCK-CEN, Mol, Belgium), about the MYRRHA project

Each parallel session will also feature prestigious invited speakers, and do not forget to participate to the various contests (see the full program here).
