3rd February 2017 - German Physical Society
„Wissenschaft ist ein hohes Gut und eine wichtige kulturelle Errungenschaft. Wissenschaftliches – also kritisches und kreatives – Denken bedarf eines entsprechenden gesellschaftlichen Umfeldes. Der freie Austausch von Meinungen, eine Kultur des Aufeinander-Hörens und des mit rationalen Argumenten geführten Diskurses sind Voraussetzungen dafür, dass gute Wissenschaft auf Dauer gedeihen kann. Insbesondere sind Dialog und Austausch auch über Grenzen hinweg für die Wissenschaft von vitaler Bedeutung. Umgekehrt kann die Wissenschaft dazu beitragen, eine Kultur der Toleranz und der Zusammenarbeit zu fördern.“ (DPG-Präsident Rolf-Dieter Heuer)

The EPS has two Early Career prizes to be awarded each year – one each for achievements of a mainly theoretical or experimental nature.
Those eligible for these awards should have made a substantial contribution to the development or reputation of physics in Europe. “Early Career” is defined as those individuals in the first 12 years of their career in physics following their first degree or equivalent, with allowance for any career breaks.
Full details of the criteria and nomination procedure can be found at http://www.eps.org/page/distinction_prize_ec.
The deadline for the receipt of eligible nominations and supporting statements by the EPS Secretariat is 28 February 2017.
