The object of the Division shall be to assist the advancement and dissemination of knowledge in nuclear physics
We define nuclear physics as the study of nuclei, their structure, disintegration, interactions and other properties, including the constituent parts of the nucleus and their interactions with one another and with nuclei and with the atomic environment.
The divisional activities will include the organisation of and approval of conferences and summer schools in this field of study and also furthering the exchange of scientists and students.
Some of the divisional activities are the recognition of outstanding achievements by giving a number of prestigious prizes and awards, organisation and approval of conferences, publication of topical papers, and furthering the exchange of scientists and students.
The Nuclear Physics The board of the Nuclear Physics Division (NPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) calls for nominations for the 2026 EPS Nuclear Physics Division Prize for Applied Nuclear Physics. This is a prize sponsored by the division, consisting of a diploma of the EPS and 3000 €, which will be awarded during the 2027 Applied Nuclear Physics conference in Bologna, 14-18 June 2027 . Nominations should comprise: 1. A short citation (max. 50 words), describing succinctly the achievements of the nominee and the reasons for awarding the prize. The award citation will be based on the words provided. 2. A detailed statement of the nominee’s major scientific achievements (max. 2 pages) 3. The nominee’s CV (max. 1 page). 4. A maximum of two letters of support from renowned personalities of the field, underscoring the relevance of the scientific work of the nominee. Nominations should be sent to the Scientific Secretary Raquel Crespo and to the Chair Araceli Lopez-Martens of the NPD board by the deadline of 30th September 2026 .
