Science by Women
The Women in Africa foundation, true to its mission of contributing to the development of Africa through its women, is launching the fourth edition of the SCIENCE BY WOMEN programme with the aim to promote African women’s leadership in scientific research and technology transfer and to foster the capacity of the research centres in their home countries. The main goal is to enable African women researchers and scientists to tackle the great challenges faced by Africa through research in health, agriculture and food security, water, energy and climate change, which can be transferred into products and technologies with an impact on people´s lives.
2018 Lise Meitner Prize for Nuclear Science
The 2018 Lise Meitner Prize has been jointly awarded to Peter Ring (Technische Universität München) and Peter Schuck (Institut de Physique Nucléaire d’Orsay and Laboratoire de Physique et de Modélisation des Milieux Condensés Grenoble) for “Their enormous impact on both theoretical and experimental many-body nuclear physics. In particular P.Ring developed new investigations in high-spin phenomena, collective vibrations and relativistic nuclear energy density functionals while P.Schuck introduced new approaches for nuclear matter in connection with nuclear superfluidity and alpha-particle condensation”.
