First ever winners of new Institute of Physics Technician Awards announced
The first ever IOP Technician Awards winners were announced in October. Five winners in four categories – secondary school; further education and higher education; business and/or facilities and team – are the first technicians to be recognised by the IOP.
EPS Plasma Physics Innovation Prize 2019
The EPS Plasma Physics Innovation Prize 2019 for technological, industrial or societal applications of research in plasma physics is awarded jointly to Professor Hana Barankova and Professor Ladislav Bardos, both of the Ångström Laboratory, Uppsala University, Sweden.
NNV Diversity Prize 2018 awarded to Groningen
The first edition of the NNV-Diversity Prize was won by the faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen (RUG). The NNV (Netherlands Physical Society) has created the prize for the physics institution that is most successful in putting an open diversity policy into practice. The prize is a tribute and an inspiring example for other institutes and/or departments.
Award of EPS Alfven Prize 2019 to Victor Malka and Toshiki Tajima
The EPS Hannes Alfvén Prize 2019 for outstanding contributions to plasma physics is jointly awarded to Professor Victor Malka and Professor Toshiki Tajima.
The 2018 APS/EPS Landau-Spitzer Award
For the development of a new and highly efficient scenario for heating of fusion plasmas using Ion Cyclotron Resonant Heating (ICRH), the joint team consisting of Yevgen Kazakov and Jef Ongena, from the Laboratory for Plasma Physics of the Royal Military Academy (Brussels, Belgium) and John Wright and Steven Wuktich from the Plasma Science and Fusion Centre at MIT (Boston, USA) was awarded last July the prestigious Landau-Spitzer Award.
IBM Q Awards Contest Program
The IBM Q Awards are prizes for professors, lecturers and students who use the IBM Q Experience and QISKit in the classroom or for their research.
Professor Tony Bell is awarded the Hannes Alfvén Prize 2018

EPS Edison Volta Prize 2018: Call for nominations
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.
EPS Plasma Physics Division “PhD Research Award”: call for nominations
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 EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division is happy to announce the winners of its two 2017 prizes
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:
EPS Physics Education Division Award for Secondary School Teaching
The European Physical Society, acting through its Physics Education Division, is pleased to announce that nominations for the Award for Secondary School Teaching are now open. This Award is subject to the following criteria: the award should be made to an individual high school teacher (it is not a team award) ; the award should recognize work that directly affects students of physics in one or more European secondary schools (what constitutes a secondary school may be broadly interpreted, but specifically excludes primary schools and universities.)
The EPS Edison Volta Prize: double celebration
At EPS Council in Strasbourg, on 5 April 2013, the award ceremony of the EPS Edison Volta Prize 2012 took place in the presence of two of the three winners: Rolf Dieter Heuer and Stephen Myers.
The European Physical Society, the Centro di Cultura Scientifica “Alessandro Volta”, Como, Italy (birth town of A. Volta) and EDISON, Milan, Italy (Europe’s oldest energy company, founded in 1884) established the EPS Edison Volta Prize to promote excellent research and achievement in physics…
