Nomination for the
EPS Plasma Physics Innovation Prize 2016
“For technological or societal spin-offs from research into plasma physics”

	This new prize was established in 2008 by the EPS Plasma Physics Division to acknowledge and promote the many benefits to society that derive from plasma physics research, such as applications in medicine, waste management, material processing or other areas of societal, industrial or technological applications. The prize is awarded for proven applications outside the realm of plasma physics, beyond promising ideas. Joint awards can be granted to groups of up to 3 researchers. 

The previous Innovation Prize laureates are:
	J. Allen and B. Annaratone (2008)
	E. Marode (2009), U. Czarnetzki (2010)
	V.A. Litvak, M.K.A. Thumm and K. Sakamoto (2011)
	E. Stamate (2012) 
	C. Hollenstein (2014)

The deadline for nomination is November 1st, 2015.
The completed nomination form should be sent to the Chairperson of the Plasma Physics Divison Board of the European Physical Society, Mrs Sylvie Jacquemot, Ecole Polytechnique Palaiseau, France, preferably by electronic mail: sylvie.jacquemot@polytechnique.fr. 

The board treats the nomination fully confidential and we kindly ask you the same.
