Lise Meitner Prize

This article is about the European Physical Society award. For the Institute of Physics award, see Lise Meitner Medal and Prize.

The Lise Meitner Prize for nuclear physics, established in 2000, is awarded every two years by the European Physical Society for outstanding work in the fields of experimental, theoretical or applied nuclear science. It is named after Lise Meitner to honour her fundamental contributions to nuclear physics and her courageous and exemplary life.[1] Not to be confused with the Gothenburg Lise Meitner Award.
