In memoriam Adrian DafineiFebruary 5, 2023

The world of physics is saddened by the passing of Mr. Adrian Dafinei, Professor Doctor of Physics at the University of Bucharest – Romania. Professor Dafinei was known for his professionalism, brilliant solutions to all kinds of problems, fairness, modesty, and his tireless desire to help unconditionally.

Since 1998, Professor Dafinei had been leading the Romanian Physics Team at IPhO, imparting his knowledge, dedication and passion for physics to many generations of exceptional students. Professor Dafinei was also a member of the Advisory Committee for IPhO.

The Romanian Physics Teams for EuPhO, APhO and NBPhO was prepared every year by Professor Adrian Dafinei and students achieved remarkable results at EuPhO, APhO, NBPhO and IPhO.

Excellence in physics and the many lives he touched are richer because of Professor Adrian Dafinei.

Smooth sailing to the stars, Professor Adrian Dafinei. May you rest in peace.

About EuPhO 2021March 22, 2021

Dear friends,

The Academic Committee of EuPhO convened online on 14th February, and as a result, I can inform you about the following.
1. EuPhO-2021 will take place online, between 19th and 26th June, with the competition days being 19th and 20th June. This is based on the feedback received from you: all the teams will be able to compete on 19th and 20th June, and Sunday-Saturday are the preferred competition days.
2. The fees will be 90€ per contestant for official teams, and 125€ per contestant for the guest teams.
3. The regulations will mostly copy the regulations of EuPhO-2020. In
particular, the experiment will be again virtual. However, with the
accumulated experience from EuPhO-2020 and increased budget, we aim to make it more streamlined.
4. EuPhO-2022 will take place in Slovenia, and EuPhO-2023 in Germany.
5. The first circular will be sent out, and the pre-registration of EuPhO-2021 will open soon.

NB! While we do have a pool of good problem proposals, our primary goal
is to make as good and exciting as possible problem sets. If you have an
original problem which you believe could fit both in style and difficulty for EuPhO, please send it to me by e-mail. Please put it into an encrypted container (.7z, .zip), and send the container to eurphol@gmail.com while sending the password to kalda@ioc.ee.

Finally, if you have received the medals, I would be happy to receive photos of your team with medals, for uploading to the EuPhO web page. It could be the whole team together (possibly with team leaders), or a collage of the photos of individual contestants. Please send the photos to eurphol@gmail.com.

Best regards,
Jaan Kalda
