The European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) awards several prizes every year in recognition of the scientific excellence of European solar physicists and their service to the community.
- The ESPD Patricia Edwin PhD Thesis Prize will be awarded to a young researcher whose PhD thesis was defended in 2024.
- The ESPD Giancarlo Noci Early Career Prize will be awarded to a young researcher whose PhD degree was awarded after 01/01/2021 (with possible extension).
- The ESPD Kees Zwaan Inspirational Community Prize will be awarded, with the aim of recognizing researchers/technicians/organizations/groups whose contribution goes beyond scientific research in the field of Solar Physics.
These prizes are nomination-based.
The deadline for nomination is March 4th, 2025.
ESPD aspires to be an inclusive and welcoming environment for all who enjoy solar physics. In order to promote equality in science, ESPD strongly encourages the nomination of female and other under-represented categories in solar physics.
