Physical and Engineering Sciences

The Physical and Engineering Sciences are key drivers for research and innovation, providing fundamental insights and creating new applications for mankind.

The goal of the ESF Standing Committee for Physical and Engineering Sciences (PESC) is to become the pan-European platform for innovative research and competitive new ideas while addressing societal issues in a more effective and sustainable manner.  The Committee is a unique cross-disciplinary group, with networking activities comprising a good mix of experimental and theoretical approaches. It distinguishes itself by focusing on fundamental research and engineering. PESC covers the following broad spectrum of fields;

  • chemistry
  • mathematics
  • informatics and the computer sciences
  • physics
  • fundamental engineering sciences
  • materials sciences

PESC News is a twice-yearly publication that provides an insight into the business of the Standing Committee for the Physical and Engineering Sciences (PESC) and the activities currently running in PESC's remit. 

PESC News No. 11, ESF 2009 General Assembly Edition reports on the launch of a number of important activities:

PESC News No 11.  reports on the launch of a number of important activities, in particular, the New Expert Committee on "Materials Science and Engineering (MatSEEC)" and the Forward Looks "Mathematics and Industry" and the NuPECC led "Long Range Plan 2010" .

The Newsletter also illustrates selected highlights and initiatives which have emerged from the different currently running activivities in PESC's remit.

Examples include the EUROCORES Programme "Cold Quantum Matter (EuroQUAM)" which reports on the Formation of Ultracold Molecules; the EUROCORES Programme "Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics (FoNE) Final Conference, the special edition of the EUROCORES programme "Self-Organised Nano-Structures (SONS II) in "Advanced Materials", the Research Networking Programme "Middleware for Network Eccentric and Mobile Applications (MiNEMA) textbook published by Springer, as well as novel results provided by the Research Networking Programme "Highly Frustrated Magnetism (HFM)" on magnetic monopoles.
