The European Physical Society is delighted to announce the 2019 winners of its two most prestigious prizes in Quantum Electronics and Optics.
Philip Haslinger, TU Wien, wins the Young Scientist Prize 2019 of the AMOPD-EPS
The Young Scientist Prize 2019 of the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Division (AMOPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) was awarded to Philipp Haslinger (TU Wien) for his pioneering contributions to the application of precision atom interferometry. His achievements include the ultrasensitive probe of candidates of dark matter by atom inerferometry thereby excluding so [...]
“The Four(er) Vectors” won the international physics competition PLANCKS
The winners of the German physics competition DOPPLERS also won the international competition PLANCKS in Odense, Denmark. Sven Jandura from the LMU Munich, Eugen Dizer from the University of Heidelberg and Friedrich Hübner and Kilian Bönisch, both from the University of Bonn, clearly set themselves apart from the other teams with 84 out of 100 [...]
Professor Toshiki Tajima Receives the 2018 Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar Prize of Plasma Physics
The Division of Plasma Physics annually selects an outstanding plasma physicist for the S. Chandrasekhar Prize of Plasma Physics.
Call for nominations for the EPS Emmy Noether Distinction
In 2013, the European Physical Society launched the Emmy Noether Distinction to recognise noteworthy women physicists.
EPS Historic Site, Leuven, Belgium : Georges Lemaître, founder of the Big Bang theory
On 23 May 2019, the Belgian Physical Society, the European Physical Society, and the sister-universities UCLouvain and KU Leuven will celebrate the person and the work of Monsignor Georges Lemaître (1894-1966), who was a professor at the yet undivided University of Louvain, and the original founder of the theory of the Big Bang.
2019 ESPD Prizes awarded
The European Solar Physics Division board is delighted to present the 2019 ESPD Prize winners: PhD Thesis Prize to Dr. Norbert Magyar (PhD carried at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) for significant contributions, using 3D magneto-hydrodynamics numerical experiments, to the study of waves and their relation to turbulence in the solar corona, in the framework of [...]

The EPS Plasma Physics Division is happy to announce the winners of the 2019 EPS PPD PhD Research Award.
EPS SNPD Prizes 2019
The Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division (SNPD) of the European Physical Society is happy to announce the winners of the two prizes of the Division.
EPS Historic Site in Budapest to Honour the Eötvös Experiment
The former physics building of the Loránd Eötvös University ‒ the physics department was moved from the centre of the city to a new campus about 20 years ago, the former building being occupied now by institutes of the Faculty of Humanities ‒ has been recognised as an EPS Historic Site.
2019 Vladilen Letokhov Medal
The 2019 Vladilen Letokhov Medal is awarded to Prof. Dr. Ferenc Krausz, Director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) and Chair for Experimental Physics & Laser Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich. The prize is awarded to Prof. Krausz “for his contribution to the development of high-field laser physics, in particular for pioneering attosecond physics, through which real-time views of electron motion in atoms, molecules, and solids have become possible”.
Emmy Noether Distinction Winter 2018: Interview with Chiara Mariotti
On 4 February 2019, the Emmy Noether distinction was presented to Dr. Chiara Mariotti [CM] at CERN. She was interviewed by Luc Bergé [LB], chair of the Equal Opportunities Committee of the EPS.
