The Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division (SNPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) calls for nominations for two newly created prizes of this Division:

EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Prize

The EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Prize will be awarded for outstanding research contributions in the area of statistical physics, nonlinear physics, complex systems and complex networks. The prize winner will have made ground-breaking and agenda-setting contributions for the development of this field. The prize can be shared by up to 3 people. The prize consists of a medal and a cash sum. Prize winners can be of any nationality.

EPS-SNPD Early Career Prize
