The EPS CMD Europhysics Prize is one Europe’s most prestigious prizes in the field of condensed matter physics. It is awarded every 2 years in recognition of recent work by one or more individuals for scientific excellence in the area of condensed matter physics.

The work for which the individual(s) is/are nominated must not be completed more than 5 years prior to the award. The award will recognise research for which a significant portion of the work was carried out in Europe, and may be given for either pure or applied research.
