EPS Members are invited to nominate EPS Individual Members as EPS Fellows. Individuals whose achievements in physics, whether in research, industry or education and/or through commitment to the SOCIETY warrant specific recognition are eligible to become EPS Fellows.
Nominations are now open for the Edison Volta Prize of the European Physical Society [EPS]. The award – intended to promote excellence in research – will be given in recognition of outstanding research and achievements in physics.
30 years and 9,000 citations later the inventors of the atomic force microscope (AFM) were recognized last year with the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience “for the invention and realization of atomic force microscopy (AFM), a breakthrough in measurement technology and nanosculpting that continues to have a transformative impact on nanoscience and technology.”
The EPS Plasma Physics Innovation Prize was established in 2008 by the EPS Plasma Physics Division to acknowledge and promote the many benefits to society that derive from plasma physics research, such as applications in medicine, waste management, material processing or any other areas of societal, industrial or technological applications. The prize is awarded for proven applications outside the realm of plasma physics research, as distinct from promising ideas.
The Plasma Physics Division of the European Physical Society (EPS) grants up to four prizes annually to young scientists from the 38 European countries associated with the EPS in recognition of truly outstanding research achievements associated with their PhD study in the broad field of plasma physics.
The call for nomination for the EPS Hannes Alfvén Prize 2018 “For outstanding contributions to plasma physics” is open.
The selection committee is pleased to request nominations for the 2018 EPS Condensed Matter Division Europhysics Prize. The award winners will receive a cash award, as well as an invitation to attend and present their work at the DPG Spring Meeting / 27th Condensed Matter Division Conference (CMD 27) that will take place in Berlin, Germany from March 11th through 16th, 2018.
The year 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of the Polish statistical physicist Marian Smoluchowski, and on this occasion the Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division of EPS organised an anniversary conference in Krakow 3-8 September 2017. Almost 200 statistical physicists from all over the world attended.
The 44th Annual EPS conference on Plasma Physics was held at the Waterside Centre in Belfast, UK, from 26th to 30th June 2017, with participation by 672 researchers from 43 countries.
In a consultation process kicked off in 2015, the ESPD / EPS decided in 2016 to implement three Division Prizes, foreseen by its statutes and bylaws since its establishment in 2008: a Senior Prize, presented to a distinguished senior solar scientist for a life-long prolific career or scholarship, an Early Career Prize, presented to a solar scientist with an outstanding research track record up to four years after the completion of his / her PhD Thesis and a PhD Thesis Prize, presented to a young researcher who achieved significant doctoral work and a successful PhD Thesis completion over the previous calendar year. The PhD Thesis and Early Career Prizes are awarded annually, while the Senior Prize is triennial.
The Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division (SNPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) is happy to announce the winners of the two prizes of the Division:
The Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division (SNPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) calls for nominations for two newly created prizes of this Division: the EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Prize and the EPS-SNPD Early Career Prize.
