The EPS Plasma Physics Division bestows various prestigious awards at its annual EPS Conference on Plasma Physics:

• the Alfvén Prize, since 2000,
• the Innovation Prize, since 2008,
• the Jacquemot Prize, since 2024,
• the Kyushu University Itoh Project Prize, since 2005
• and the PhD Research Award, since 2005.

Student Poster Prizes, sponsored by PPCF, the EPS Plasma Physics Division and IUPAP C16, are also awarded to PhD students. In 2019, EPL Prizes for best research image/video and communication skills in plasma physics were also awarded.

Finally, since 2012 the Landau-Spitzer Award has been jointly awarded by the APS and EPS Plasma Physics Divisions, every 4 years during the conference.
