Prof Valerij BOČVARSKI devoted his life to research and teaching both in Physics and Philosophy. The above Greek sentence, which was written at the entrance gate of Plato’s Academy, ideally symbolises this activity.
In honour of this outstanding researcher and teacher, whose interests covered a tremendously wide field, we organised a two day colloquium, on 13th October 2017 at the Institute of Physics- Belgrade (IPB) (http://www.ipb.ac.rs/index.php/en/) and Institut Français de Serbie (IFS) (http://www.institutfrancais.rs/sr/ ) and on 14th October 2017, at IPB. This colloquium was aimed at gathering researchers, teachers and students interested in a variety of physical and philosophical questions. The topics can be summarized as follows:
Physics: Electron-atom (molecule) collisions
Atom-atom (molecule) collisions at thermal energy
Stern-Gerlach atomic interferometry: principle and applications
Expert systems for the treatment of collisional spectra
Philosophy: The concept of Morphology
Morphology of Physics (extremum principles, discrete and continuous worlds, space and time)
Morphology of Beauty (Art versus Science)
