The IUCHPP is pleased to announce a call for nominations for the inaugural Early Career Prize in the History of Physics. The prize recognises outstanding contributions to the areas within the remit of the Commission. These areas include: 

• the history and philosophy of physics in any geographic region; 

• the history of physics in its experimental, instrumental, and theoretical forms;  

• the history of applied physics in industry and laboratory settings;

• the history of astrophysics, biophysics, and allied disciplines;

• the history of physics communities and physics diplomacy in a global context

• the history of physics within its social, cultural, and political contexts.  

We encourage nominations of early career historians of physics in the broadest sense: early career scholars from around the world, including those who may have followed non-traditional career paths, who may have overcome funding difficulties and/or contributed to forming communities at their institutions or in their home countries.  

Nominations can be made for any early career scholar (PhD received within the past 8 years) working on the history of physics broadly construed. No self-nominations are permitted.
