Description
The European Physical Society celebrates its 50th anniversary. With a series of events and actions, the EPS remembers this year its foundation that took place in 1968 at CERN and at the University of Geneva. Under the impulsion of the Italian physicist Gilberto Bernardini, the creation of this truly international cooperative venture in physics became reality with the aim to contribute to the strength of European cultural unity. I shall present the history of EPS in the context of a world, which has changed quite a lot since 1968.
