Call for nominations for the Research in Laser Science and Applications Prize 2018
Overview
The Quantum Electronics and Optics Division (QEOD) of the European Physical Society is presently soliciting nominations for their biennial prize in ‘Research in Laser Science and Applications’ to be presented at the 2018 Europhoton Conference on Solid-State, Fibre and Waveguide Coherent Light Sources. Details of the application procedure and information required are given below.
Nominations are to be received online by April 16th, 2018 at the latest.
The European Physical Society (EPS) Prize for Research in Laser Science and Applications is a major prize awarded on behalf of the European Physical Society through its Quantum Electronics Optics Division (QEOD). The prize is awarded every 2 years in recognition of recent work by one or more individuals (no more than three) for scientific excellence in the area of laser science and applications in its broadest sense.
The work for which the individual(s) is (are) nominated must be such that a significant component of it was performed during the period 5 years prior to the award. In addition, the award will recognise research for which a significant portion of the work was carried out in Europe or in cooperation with European researchers, and may be given for either pure or applied research.
The award is accompanied by an engraved glass medal, a certificate, and a monetary sum of 2000 euros.
The Prize Ceremony and Lecture will be highlights of the EPS Europhoton Conference in Barcelona, Spain between the 2nd and 7th September 2018.
