IUPAP Commission C18 (Mathematical Physics) calls for nominations for the IUPAP Early Career Scientist Prize, formerly known as Young Scientist Prize, in Mathematical Physics.

The prize recognizes exceptional achievements in mathematical physics by scientists at relatively early stages of their careers. It is awarded triennially to at most three young scientists satisfying the following criteria:

• The recipients of the awards in a given year should have a maximum of 8 years of research experience (excluding career interruptions) following their PhD on January 1 of that year (in this case that is 2027).

• The recipients should have performed original work of outstanding scientific quality in mathematical physics.

• Preference may be given to young mathematical physicists from underrepresented groups and geographical regions.

The awards will be presented at the ICMP in August 2027 in Da Nang (Vietnam). A nomination should include a brief description of the achievements of the candidate that support the nomination, a CV, and a list of publications (or current links to that information online).

The deadline for nominations is October 15, 2026.
