About the EPS AG
The aims of the EPS Accelerator Group are:
- to promote research and development of all kinds of particle accelerators and the associated technology, as well as their applications;
- to encourage contacts between specialists in the field in European and non-European institutions, in particular through the organization of the International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC) when held in Europe;
- to stimulate international co-operation and exchange of information;
- to promote efficient and effective use of resources and foster high standards.
Membership of the EPS Accelerator Group (EPS-AG) is open to individuals or institutes (laboratories, etc.) interested in particle accelerators, and who are members of the European Physical Society.
The EPS-AG operates according to a set of Statutes and Rules.
The EPS-AG is managed by an Elected Board. Elections to the Board are held as a rule every three years, and a General Assembly takes place during each IPAC in Europe.
