August 2008.
The
Fritz London Memorial Prize is an
international
prize awarded once every three
years
and which is

<goldman@physics.umn.edu>The deadline for the receipt of nominations and supporting letters is November 15, 2007.A letter of nomination should clearly state all of the following:
The basis for the proposed prize.
Citations to publications on which the nomination is based.
An assessment of the impact to the low temperature community.
Relevant biographical information, and current institutional affiliation.Supporting letters should assess the quality and significance of the work of the candidate.
There are no restrictions on nationality or age of those who are given this award. It has
been the policy of the committee to avoid giving the award for work that has already
been recognized by the Simon Memorial Prize or by other comparable awards, and to
look more favorably on recent work than on work whose significance has been apparent
for a long time.============================================================================
