The applications are evaluated and assessed by the Selection Committee, at present composed of G. Colangelo (BE, Chair), A. Bay (EPFL), M. Bourquin (GE) and P. Truöl (ZH).

'The Marie Curie Initial Training Network offers a new studentship in particle physics. Eight positions in France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and UK will allow PhD work to start in 2012. These positions will be allocated at any moment within the next two weeks. Therefore: HURRY UP. (more)

The renewed CHIPP Executive Board composed of L. Baudis (ZH), G. Colangelo (BE), K. Kirch (PSI&ETHZ, chair), and O. Schneider (EPFL) has started its term on 1 January 2012

In its session of 12 January 2012, the CHIPP Board has endorsed the submission of the NCCR Proposal ‘THE UNIVERSE – Constituents, Forces, Space-Time’ by the two co-leading houses (GE, PSI) on behalf of the NCCR participants. Further, the CHIPP Board has approved the setting-up of a Working Group to prepare the Swiss scientific input to the update process of the European Strategy in Particle Physics (K. Kirch, PSI&ETHZ [Chair]; A. Ereditao, BE; Th. Gehrmann, ZH; R. Wallny, ETHZ; M. Pohl, GE; O. Schneider, EPFL). In the same meeting, the CHIPP Board has agreed to place the selection of the CHIPP Prize winner in the hands of a specific Selection Committee (G. Colangelo, BE [Chair], A. Bay, EPFL; M. Bourquin, GE; P. Truöl, ZH) and has slightly revised the CHIPP Prize procedures. In addition, the CHIPP Board decided on a Membership fee of 110 CHF for 2012 and approved the budget 2012 for the CHIPP Association. The minutes of the Board can be found here.
