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.
The Plasma Physics Division of the European Physical Society (EPS PPD) opens calls for its 2019 prizes.
The international journal Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (PPCF), the European Physical Society (EPS) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics are proud to present the winners of the PPCF/EPS/IUPAP PhD Poster Prize. The winners were announced at the closing ceremony of the 45th European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics, Prague, Czech Republic.
The EPS Plasma Physics Division is happy to announce that the EPS PPD Innovation Prize 2018 has been awarded to Professor Arutiun Ehiasarian “for the use of plasma physics in coating technology and engineering, through seminal contributions to the science and industrial applications of High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering for substrate pre-treatment and deposition of coatings and thin films.”
The 45th European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics will take place in Prague from 2nd to 6th July 2018.
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 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.
The 2017 Alfvén prize is awarded to Ksenia Aleksandrovna Razumova, from the Kurchatov Institute (Moscow, Russia). The 2017 Innovation award is going to Michel Moisan, from the Université de Montréal (Québec, Canada).
