Professional Development

The Annual Meeting of The Society of Rheology is held in mid-October. The meetings ordinarily last three to four days and are open to both members and non-members. Every effort is made to stimulate and encourage fruitful discussion during the technical sessions, with 25 minutes normally allotted to the presentation and discussion of each paper. There are normally no more than four simultaneous sessions, and the program includes plenary lectures, special symposia, informal evening discussions, and instrument exhibits.

The ICPS stands for the International Conference of Physics Students, which is the main event of the IAPS, organized yearly by one of its member committees. The purpose of the conference is to create an opportunity for physics students to come together, to talk about science and life, to practice presenting their research and, all in all, to have a great time. The conference is entirely organised by physics students for physics students, and its official language is English.
