Plasma Physics Division 

Objectives:

  • To unite European scientists interested in the physics of fully and partially ionized gases.
  • To promote research and teaching in plasma physics and its applications, to facilitate research collaboration and to represent. European physicists outside Europe
  • To coordinate activities with the other physical societies, such as the American Physical Society and the Physical Society of Japan.
  • To collaborate on the Editorial Board of Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion.

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 Sylvie Jacquemot Prize, since 2024,
