Prizes 2015
Research into the Science of Light Prize 2017
Overview
The Quantum Electronics and Optics Division (QEOD) of the European 
Physical Society is presently soliciting nominations for their biennial 
prize Research into the Science of Light.  Details of the required 
material to provide are given below. Nominations are to be received 
online by October 1st, 2016 at the latest.
The European Physical Society (EPS) Prize for Research into the Science 
of Light is a major prize awarded on behalf of the EPS 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 
electromagnetic science in its broadest sense, across the entire 
spectrum of electromagnetic waves. 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 recognize 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 will be accompanied by an engraved glass medal, certificate, 
and a monetary sum of 2000 euros. The Prize Ceremony and Lecture will be 
highlights of the EPS Nanometa Conference organized in Seefeld, Austria, 
from the 4th to 7th of January, 2017. Nominations must include:
* A cover letter provided by the nominator with proposed citation
* A two-page summary of the significance of the work which is the 
subject of the nomination. For a nominated team of more than one person, 
the summary should clearly specify the individual contribution of each 
nominee, and when and where the work has been performed.
* Nominee CV(s)
* A list of publications covering the last five years (a few earlier 
articles particularly relevant for the nomination can also be included). 
  Five articles of most significance should be highlighted.
* Up to three letters of endorsement of the nomination.
