PhD Research prizes awarded at EPS 2018

The Plasma Physics Division of the European Physical Society (EPS) grants up to four prizes annually to young scientists from the 38 European countries associated with the EPS, in recognition of truly outstanding research achievements associated with their PhD study in the broad field of plasma physics. 

The four winners of the 2018 edition of the PhD Research Award have been announced this week. Each winner receives a prize of one thousand euros, together with the opportunity to give an oral presentation at the 45th Annual EPS Conference on Plasma Physics, to be held in Prague in early July.
