The award is named after the American Physical Society president John Torrence Tate in honor of his service to the physics community.
AIP
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2024 – AIP is accepting nominations for the 2025 John Torrence Tate Medal for International Leadership in Physics. The deadline to apply is now Nov. 1, 2024.
Established in 1959, the Tate medal was and is awarded every two years to non-U.S. citizens for their leadership, research contributions, and service to the international physics community. The award consists of a certificate of recognition, a bronze medal and a $10,000 prize. Previous winners include Yu Lu, Jean Trân Thanh Vân, Neil Turok and Fabiola Gianotti, Catherine Cesarsky, and Mahouton Norbert Hounkonnou who won the award in 2023.
Self-nominations are permitted, and nominations of women, members of underrepresented minority groups and scientists from outside the United States are encouraged.
The award is for service to the profession of physics rather than for research accomplishment. Efforts that further international understanding and exchange are of primary importance. Examples might be the establishment or improvement of publications, the promotion or administration of joint research projects, or the operation of unusually successful international conferences. A citation on the accompanying certificate will state the particular service for which the award is made.
The recipient is chosen by the Institute’s Board of Directors on the recommendation of an appointed committee.
