Enrico Fermi (1901-1954)
Enrico Fermi is invited in 1930 to take part in the 6th Conference on Physics, devoted to magnetism. This is the first Conference under the presidency of Paul Langevin.
Enrico Fermi is among the few physicists to be received by King Albert on the occasion of the Conferences of 1930 and 1933. He joins the Scientific Committee of the IIPS in 1933, succeeding Philippe-Eugène Guye. Invited to take part in the Committee meeting of October 1935, he is unable to attend. However, he is present at the October 1938 meeting held to prepare the 1939 Conference. A few days later, he learns (confidentially) that he is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Enrico Fermi accepts to take part in the Conference of October 1939 and to present a report on the neutrino. But this Conference never takes place.
