2025 BRSG–NMRDG Annual Prize
Nominations are being sought for the 2025 BRSG-NMR DG Annual Prize. The prize is awarded to an individual for excellence in magnetic resonance and
is to honour a work representing one or more substantial contributions to the field. The recipient will be invited to give a prize lecture at the NMR Discussion Group Winter Meeting on 11th December 2025.
Candidates for the award should be nominated by a member of the BRSG or the NMR Discussion Group. A short case is to be made as to why the candidate is suitable for a prize recognising excellence in magnetic resonance,
including reference to one or more substantial contributions to the field. The awardee can be of any nationality, but is to be based in the UK or Ireland at the time of nomination and award. The research being
recognised can have been partially but not exclusively carried out outside the UK or Ireland. The prize will be awarded to a researcher within 7 years of having taken up an independent position.
Further information is available at
https://www.iop.org/physics-community/special-interest-groups/brsg-magnetic-resonance-group/brsg-nmrdg-annual-prize#gref.
Nominations should be sent to the BRSG chair, John Griffin j.griffin@lancaster.ac.uk before 16th June, 2025.
Richard R. Ernst Prize in Magnetic Resonance 2025
Nominations are invited for the “Richard R. Ernst Prize in Magnetic Resonance” (The Ernst Prize), named after magnetic resonance pioneer and Nobel Laureate Prof. Richard R. Ernst, which will be awarded at the EUROMAR 2025 in Oulu, Finland, to recognize ‘recent beneficial applications of Magnetic Resonance’.
The Ernst Prize is intended to award achievements going beyond fundamental research, for groundbreaking applications of new or of previously known techniques in all areas of magnetic resonance. It is intended for research published within the last three years, although the origins of the ideas and experiments may have been described in previous publications. In special cases, and at the discretion of the Prize Committee, the award may be for cumulative achievements over a longer period of time.
The Ernst Prize is intended to be awarded to a single individual; however, it may be awarded to up to three scientists if the Prize Committee deems that their contributions to the development of the applications are of equal value.
Former prize recipients are Alex Pines (2016), Robert Griffin (2017), Claudio Luchinat (2018), Daniella Goldfarb and Angela Gronenborn (2019), and Clare Grey (2020)), Lucio Frydman and Jan-Henrik Ardenkjaer-Larsen (2021), Harald Schwalbe (2022), and Jack Freed (2023)and Lucia Banci (2023), and Bernhard Blumich and Andrew Webb (2024).
The Prize comes with a purse of 15,000 €; it is sponsored by the Bruker BioSpin Corporation, and is awarded annually at the EUROMAR conference.
The 2025 Ernst Prize committee is made by Profs. Lucio Frydman (chair), Harald Schwalbe, Lucia Banci, Andrew Webb, OscarMillet, Ville-Veikko Telkki and Goran Karlsson.
Nominations must include and fulfill the following conditions: the nominee's name, affiliation, address, phone number, and e-mail; a brief (ca. 200 words) description of the work serving as the basis for the nomination, and a list of relevant publications (~5); Nominees may not have received the Guenther Laukien Prize in the preceding five years; Self-nominations are not accepted.
Nominations for the 2025 Ernst Prize will be considered until 15th April, 2025 and should be sent to Lucio Frydman, the Chair of the Ernst Prize Committee.
