P. Antici has been invited to participate in the World Science Forum. In convening a World Conference on Science for the Twenty-First Century: a New Commitment, from 26 June to 1 July 1999 in Budapest, Hungary, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Council for Science (ICSU), in co-operation with other partners, initiated a unique forum for a much-needed debate between the scientific community and society. Inspired by the success of the World Conference on Science, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in partnership with UNESCO, ICSU and AAAS established a series of follow-up events called World Science Forum, taking place biennially in Budapest. During the three days of each Forum by 2015 over 900 scientists, decision-makers from the world of politics, industry, representatives of the civil society and the media express their views on the new challenges facing science in the 21st century.

After 3 days of intense discussions delegates of the 7th World Science Forum approved the declaration of WSF2015 at the Parliament pledging to advance the use of science advice, a shift for new, sustainbale development paths and an ambitious agreement at the COP21 Paris Summit on Climate Change. WSF participants called upon balanced investment in science, and an international co-operation for capacity-building in the developing world to overcome the pressing challenges of our age and reduce our vulnerability to natural and manmade disasters.

P. Antici has been elected fellow of the Institute of Physics. The Panel agreed that “P. Antici is a highly talented and accomplished person with interesting and varied experience in multiple fields and disciplines. He is still in the relatively early stages of what has thus far been a highly successful and productive career in scientific research.It is also excellent to see an application from an individual that is not only a key figure in laser-generated particle sources but also has the ability to teach, mentor and manage.”

The Chair of the panel also commended on how encouraging it is to see detailed and effective comments from Professor Antici’s supporters and their statements underwrite what is a very strong application.

P. Antici elected Fellow of the European Physical Society

During the last general assembly, P. Antici has been elected Fellow of the European Physical Society for his outstanding contribution to physics. “It’s a great honour to be part of such an elite scientific group, and I am very touched by this recognition,” said Professor Antici. “It crowns years of work within the research community, work that has produced such impressive results as the Extreme Light Infrastructure.”

Professor Antici is one of seven new fellows elected in 2015 and one of the youngest scientists to receive this distinction. The European Physical Society has welcomed him as a fellow in recognition of his significant contribution to the creation of major laser and acceleration infrastructure and networks as well as his important work on the development of laser-generated particle sources.

About the European Physics Society

Founded in 1968, the European Physics Society promotes physics research and its contribution to economic, technological, social, and cultural advancement in Europe. It supports the role of physicists in the design and implementation of European science policies while encouraging international cooperation among physicists around the world. It currently has over 100,000 members from 40 national physics societies and 78 elected fellows.
