Thanks again to the old EC for all their work and the wonderful moments during all of last years events!
Host of ICPS 2018
The final decision was made at the Annual General Meeting in Malta! There were two bids from Ensenada, NC Mexico and Helsinki, NC Finland. With 74% of the votes it has been approved to host ICPS 2018 in Helsinki, Finland.
Congratulations to the host and we are all looking forward to another great ICPS!

Opportunities:
A competition in 2018?
If the ICPS isn't for you, maybe the Physics League Across Numerous Countries for Kick-ass Students is. Shortened to PLANCKS, it is IAPS' second largest event and certainly also something you might consider to attend or maybe even host. As there were no bids until ICPS, there will be an extraordinary GM later this year. Bids from any member committee are still welcome!
The IAPS School Day (10th of November)
Due to the great success of last years IAPS School Day within the International Year of Light, we are having a second edition of our largest outreach activity. This year's topic will be environment and energy. Throughout the day, our members show school pupils the exiting world of physics so write to ec@iaps.info if you want to take part. There will be further information in next newsletter as well.

Latest activities:
View back to ICPS 2016
Only one month ago but it already seems far away - ICPS 2016 on beautiful island of Malta. Looking back we see a week full of lectures, excursions and - for sure - meeting up with a lot of either new or well-known faces, but definitely sympathizers, from all over the world.
It was a great success as always and we are looking forward to next ICPS in Torino, Italy 2017!
Autumn School 2016
In Budapest during autumn 2013 there first took place a joint programme between our two member societies of NC Germany (jDPG) and NC Hungary (Mafihe). Since then there was a yearly event with changing host year by year with ending up in this years Autumn School in Berlin.
During four days 40 participants could visit a wide range of Institutes - like the German Aerospace Center, the synchrotron BESSY, German Metrology Institute and the German Parliament - where physics happens and therefore they got an idea of the diverse possible ways for their future.
