Physics in Belgium Activity Reports

The BNCPAP considers it within its mandate to widely advertise the many tantalizing and multifaceted research activities that are taking place in Physics in Belgium, in a format that allows ready consultation by scholars, policy makers and industrials alike.

To this end, the BNCPAP compiles short activity reports for each of the main research topics, both theoretical and experimental. For the breakdown in work packages, it was decided to adopt, with minor changes, the subdivision in commissions used by IUPAP,  the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics. The following 15 subfields resulted:

* grouping of earlier IUPAP commissions on Particles, Fields and Cosmic Rays

First publication was in 2006, in Physicalia Magazine, with further posting on our own website and on that of the Belgian Physical Society. 

Since that first effort, new research topics have emerged and new talents have joined the various fields. The BNCPAP regularly updates the reports with the help of the Belgian physics network. The field of Medical Physics was added in 2011 to achieve an even wider coverage. All updates are published in the Belgian Journal of Physics.

The updated Research in Physics in Belgium reports are listed below, with indication of the year of the last issue.  Electronic versions can be read or downloaded here.

The BNCPAP wishes to express its sincere gratitude to all those who contributed generously since 2006 to the reports:
