G.N.FLEROV Prize 2013 – FLEROV LABORATORY of NUCLEAR REACTIONS

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, has announced the contest for the 2013 G.N.Flerov Prize for outstanding achievements in nuclear physics, which will be awarded in March 2013, on the centenary of the birth of the eminent Russian physicist, Georgy Nikolaevich Flerov. The prize was established in 1992 in memory of Flerov and rewards contributions to nuclear physics related to his interests. The contest is for individual participants only.

For the centenary year, in which two prizes will be awarded, the Flerov Prize board invites both individual submissions and nominations by the former winners of the prize and by distinguished scientists in low-energy heavy-ion physics, nuclear chemistry and applied nuclear research.
