  6. WYP2005 Events in Austria • Physics Event ÖPG 2005 September 27-29, 2005 Vienna Annual meeting of the Austrian Physical Society • spiel.raum.physik Sept. 27 – Oct. 1, 2005 Vienna Public presentations of physics by universities and schools

  7. WYP2005 Events in Austria • European Science Week Nov. 2005 in Graz Festival celebrating Kepler´s death on Nov. 15 Exhibition in the local Kepler museum Connection via webcam with the exhibition in Milano (Galileo Galilei) and other Kepler museums

  8. WYP2005 Events in Austria • Public lecture series and workshops „Einstein lectures“ in Vienna (Ketterle, Penrose, ..) All the year in many cities • Public presentation of physics all the year especially in schools or public buildings (railway station, city centres, museums, …) • Reports in TV and radio

  9. Physics Talent Search • Coordinated by Beverly Hartline (beverly.hartline@earthlink.net) • 21 countries participated:Albania, Argentina, Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Croatia (?), Cyprus, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Korea (?), Netherlands, Poland, Serbia & Montenegro, Slovakia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Trinidad & Tobago, USA • Planned meeting in Taiwan (?)Dec. 30 – Jan. 5

  10. Physics Talent Search in Austria • 137 participants (6 from Hungary) Only a third send their work back “Talent camp” for the best students

  11. Physics as a cultural heritage A travelling exhibition • a number of historical stations • each independently developed • joint overall concept

  12. The stations: What is covered so far – what is missing: Ancient cosmology: Romania The discovery of time: Bulgaria, Israel, Romania Numbers, proportions, and the harmony of the spheres: Austria Ancient Chinese Physics: Korea, Japan, China The world view of Mesoamericans: Mexico, Guatemala Ancient Indian Physics: India The Islamic contribution to medieval physics: Pakistan Traditional African physics: South Africa

  13. The stations: What is covered so far – what is missing: The enigma of the rainbow: Poland Of loadstone and amber Of sailors and scientists: Portugal The scientific revolution of the renaissance: Italy, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands;Missing: Newton From frog’s legs to power plants: Italy, France, Serbia;Missing: Faraday, Maxwell Merging space and time: Italy, Slovenia, Israel Of particles, waves, and entangled states: Austria, USA, Switzerland, Israel

  14. Physics as a cultural heritage A travelling exhibition • Try to get further funding from the EU • Money for overall coordination would be necessary (travel expenses for meetings, overall design , ….) • At least 2 years will be necessary to get all the stations

  15. Suggestions beyond 2005 Physics and Society Forum • Austrian EU Council Presidency • Vienna, early 2006 • Dialogue between physicists and decision-makers

  16. Suggestions beyond 2005 Working Group for the promotion of physics • Members: WYP2005 Coordinators • Purpose: sharing ideas and informations • Internet forum • Meeting every year, starting spring 2006
