EPS Fellows

EPS Fellowship recognizes exceptional contributions to physics in research, industry, education, or service to the European Physical Society (EPS). Limited to 5% of EPS members, Fellows are nominated by peers and approved by the Council based on demonstrated impact in their field.

A person holding this Distinction shall be entitled to add ‘EPS Fellow’ to his/her title, and use the designation ‘EPS Fellow’ on business cards, letterhead, etc.
