The thesis prize, which was set up to recognize outstanding work by PhD students in the field of electron spin resonance, is now in its 9th year and has attracted some truly outstanding work. Further information and the online application system are here: http://www.esr-group.org/bruker-thesis-prize/. The deadline for the 2023 Bruker Thesis Prize applications is 12:00 (UK time) on the 1st December, 2022.
