Named individuals cannot be awarded posthumously.
Only works published in peer-reviewed journals will be considered in awarding the prize.

The Giuseppe and Vanna Cocconi Prize

For an outstanding contribution to Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology in the last fifteen years, in an experimental, theoretical, or technological area.

Overview

The prize will consist of an amount in cash, a medal, and a certificate.
The prize will be awarded every two years, at the EPS-HEPP Conference organized by the EPS High Energy and Particle Physics Division.

Eligibility

The prize will be awarded to one or more individuals or one or more collaborations that have made outstanding contributions to the field of particle astrophysics and cosmology in the fifteen years preceding the award. The contributions can be either experimental or theoretical in nature and normally result from fundamental research.
The prize will be awarded without restrictions on nationality, race, sex or religion.
Personal applications for the award are not permitted.

The Young Experimental Physicist Prize

For outstanding work by one or more early career experimental physicist in the field of Particle Physics and/or Particle Astrophysics.
