RUDZIKAS Zenonas R.
"Physics gives us not only the knowledge about the structure and the properties of the universe, but also the way of thinking. That is why it must be studied not only by those interested in physics and its applications, but also by people realizing their capabilities in the other domains of human activities. Laws of nature are more universal than it was thought before."
SCHÄFFER Maria-Magdalena
"Maria-Magdalena Schäffer contributed successfully to an encounter between young people and the public with physics. With her idea for ‘Physics Enlightens the World’ and with her popular scientific initiatives she made major contributions to the ‘World Year of Physics 2005’. Awarding Maria-Magdalena Schäffer the title ‘EPS Fellow’ means appreciating the work of a committed physicist who is making contributions to the successful development of physics in the educational sector and in her environmnent of teaching at high schools"
