NWO Physics Prizes: submit nominations before 1 April
The NWO Domain Science has four special scientific NWO prizes that are open to various researchers in the field of physics. With these prizes, NWO aims to facilitate research and knowledge utilisation at different scientific levels. The prizes are presented to the winners during Physics@Veldhoven in January. The deadline for submitting nominations for the prizes is 1 April 2017.
NWO Physics Prizes
As from this year the new NWO organisation will award the following prizes:
- NWO Physics Thesis Award awarded each year to the best physics thesis.
- Minerva Prize awarded once every two years for the best publication by a woman about a physics subject.
- NWO Physics Valorisation Prize encourages the utilisation of knowledge from physics research. The prize is awarded each year to a Dutch researcher (or research group) within the field of physics who has successfully managed to make the results from his or her own research useful for society.
- NWO Physics Valorisation Chapter Prize encourages PhD students to devote a separate chapter in their thesis to the valorisation of their doctoral research. This prize underlines the importance that FOM attaches to valorisation and is aimed at encouraging PhD students to look out for possibilities to utilise knowledge from their research.
