Preparing for FP8

On 9th February 2011, the European Commission presented a Green Paper proposing major changes to EU research & innovation funding to make participation easier, increase scientific and economic impact and provide better value for money. The changes, to be introduced in the next EU budget after 2013, would bring together the current Framework Programme for research, the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.

The web site http://www.qipc2011.ethz.ch of the international conference on Quantum Information Processing and Communication (QIPC) 2011 to be held at ETH Zurich from September 5 - 9, 2011 is open now. On the web site you find information on the program, a list of invited speakers, a list of local and program committee members, information on accommodation and the venue of the conference and much more.

As advertised at the 1st European Conference on Trapped Ions (ECTI2010), there will be a special issue on “Trapped Ions” in Applied Physics B – Lasers and Optics. Contributions to this special issue can include all aspects of ion trapping.
