European Physical Society Plasma Physics Division PhD Research Award
The Plasma Physics Division of the European Physical Society is creating
the "European Physical Society Plasma Physics Division PhD Research Award".
Up to three prizes will be awarded to recognise
exceptional quality of the work carried out by young physicists as part of
their PhD research in any area of plasma physics.
