Nominations are sought for the Fritz London Memorial Prize for Low
Temperature Physics, which will be presented at the International Low
Temperature Conference (LT30) in Bilbao, Spain, in August 2025.
The
Fritz London Memorial Prize is an international prize supported by the
endowment created at Duke University by John Bardeen, a generous gift
from the late Horst Meyer, and donations from Oxford Instruments. It is
awarded once every three years and is intended to recognize outstanding
experimental and theoretical contributions to low temperature physics.
Background information and a list of previous London Prize winners can
be found at: https://physics.duke.edu/fritz-london-memorial-prize
The
members of the 2025 London Memorial Prize Committee are: P. Hakonen
(Chair, Aalto U., Finland), Eva Andrei (Rutgers U., USA), Laura Greene

Subject: London Memorial Prize
The deadline for the receipt of nominations and supporting letters is November 15, 2024.
The nomination letter should clearly state all of the following:
- The basis for the proposed prize.
- Publications on which the nomination is based.
- An assessment of the impact on the low temperature community.
- Relevant biographical information and institutional affiliation.
- Supporting letters (no more than 4) should be submitted together with the nomination materials.
There
are no restrictions on who could receive this award. It has been the
policy of the committee to avoid giving the award for work that has
already been recognized by the Simon Memorial Prize or by other
comparable awards. The committee also looks more favorably on recent
work as compared to work whose significance has been apparent for a long
time.
