Call for nominations for the EPS Emmy Noether Distinction
In 2013, the European Physical Society launched the Emmy Noether Distinction to recognise noteworthy women physicists.
Emmy Noether, with her fundamental and revolutionary work in the areas of abstract algebra and on the conservation laws in theoretical physics, is a role model for future generations of physicists. The laureates of the Emmy Noether Distinction are chosen for their capacity to inspire with their scientific merits the next generation of scientists, and especially encourage women to pursue a career in physics.
The previous recipients of the Emmy Noether distinction are:
- Dr. Chiara Mariotti, INFN, University of Turin, Italy (2018)
- Dr. Françoise Remacle, University of Liege, Belgium (2017)
- Dr. Catalina Curceanu, INFN Frascati, Italy (2017)
- Dr. Patricia Bassereau, IC-CNRS Paris,France (2016)
- Dr. Eva Monroy (2016), INAC-CEA Grenoble,France (2016)
- Prof. Sibylle Günter, MPI- IPP Garching, Germany (2015)
- Prof. Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland (2015)
- Prof. Anne L’Huillier, Faculty of Engineering, LTH Lund, Sweden (2014)
- Dr. Rumiana Dimova, MPI Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam, Germany (2014)
- Prof. Nynke Dekker, TU Delft, Netherlands (2013)
- Dr. Alessandra Gatti, IFN-CNR Como, Italy (2013)
