History
Website http://www.iop.org/about/awards/
The prize was established in 1945 as a memorial to
Fernand Holweck and other French physicists who were persecuted or killed by the Nazis during the
German occupation of France during World War II, from 1940 to 1945.[1] It was originally a £150
prize.[4] It is awarded for distinguished work in experimental physics (which reflects Holweck's scientific
interest) or in theoretical physics which is closely related to experimentation.[5][3][6]
The Holweck Prize is awarded every year, alternately to a French physicist and a British or Irish
physicist. In 1974 two awards were made to mark the centenaries of the two societies.[1] Holweck
Laureates include several Nobel Prize winners.[1] The award received increased media attention in 2014
when it was awarded to Iranian physicist Ramin Golestanian.[7]
