Overview
The Quantum Electronics and Optics Division (QEOD) of the European 
Physical Society is presently soliciting nominations for their biennial 
prize in ‘Research in Laser Science and Applications’ to be presented at 
the 2016 Europhoton Conference on Solid-State, Fibre and Waveguide 
Coherent Light Sources.  Details of the application procedure and 
information required are given below.
Nominations are to be received online by April 15th, 2016 at the latest.
The European Physical Society (EPS) Prize for Research in Laser Science 
and Applications is a major prize awarded on behalf of the European 
Physical Society through its Quantum Electronics Optics Division (QEOD). 
The prize is awarded every 2 years in recognition of recent work by one 
or more individuals (no more than three) for scientific excellence in 
the area of laser science and applications in its broadest sense.
The work for which the individual(s) is (are) nominated must be such 
that a significant component of it was performed during the period 5 
years prior to the award. In addition, the award will recognise research 
for which a significant portion of the work was carried out in Europe or 
in cooperation with European researchers, and may be given for either 
pure or applied research.
The award is accompanied by an engraved glass medal, a certificate, and 
a monetary sum of 2000 euros.
The Prize Ceremony and Lecture will be highlights of the EPS Europhoton 
Conference in Vienna, Austria between the 21st and 26th August 2016.
