CMD Europhysics Prize
The CMD EUR Physics Prize is a prize of the Department Solid State Physics (Condensed Matter Division, CMD) of the European Physical Society . It has been awarded every two years since 2006. It is awarded for applied or theoretical research, the majority of which should have been done in Europe and should not be older than five years before the award.
It was formerly called the Hewlett Packard Europhysics Prize.
