The European Physical Society (EPS) invites you to a press conference in Brussels to launch a new report
by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr), revealing the scale of physics’ contribution to Europe’s prosperity.
Did you know?
– Physics-based industries generate an astonishing €7.07 trillion in turnover across Europe — more than the GDP of Germany.
– This turnover is increasing by an average of 17% each year, exceeding that of the construction, manufacturing and retail sectors.
– They employ 20.1 million people, which means 1 in every 8 European jobs depends on physics.
This event is also opened to all the MEPs of the ITRE committee, relevant Policy Officers of the European Institutions and the members of the relevant Commissioners cabinet, members of R&D liaison offices, scientific societies and any person interested in science policy.
