Topic: nuclear science

Recognises distinguished contributions to experimental or theoretical nuclear physics and applications of nuclear science. The prize comprises EUR 5,000, a medal and a diploma; the money is shared if several researchers are selected. Nominations close 6 November 2026. Presentation takes place at EuNPC 2027 in Catania, Italy.

The conference examines photon-based approaches to nuclear science and their applications. Topics include intense laser–plasma interactions, gamma-ray sources, spectroscopy, nuclear processes in stellar and laboratory plasmas, nucleosynthesis and nuclear clocks. Medical and industrial uses of laser-driven radiation, nuclear-material detection and strong-field quantum electrodynamics extend the programme. Invited and contributed talks are complemented by posters, including awards for students and early-career researchers.

Sunniva Rose discusses nuclear power, reactor safety and the challenges of explaining nuclear science to the public. Conversation in Norwegian.
