Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the call for nominations for the 2021 "Faddeev Medal" Prize. We are seeking nominations of scientists who have advanced the field of few-body physics significantly, either through ground-breaking research or due to crucial progress achieved over the course of their career.

The Faddeev medal was inaugurated in 2016 by the Topical Group on Few-Body Systems & Multiparticle Dynamics (GFB) of the American Physical Society and the European Research Committee on Few-Body Problems in Physics (ERCFBP) to recognize distinguished achievements in few-body physics. It is named in honor of distinguished scientist Ludwig D. Faddeev (1934-2017). It was awarded for the first time in 2018 to Vitaly Efimov and Rudi Grimm for “/the theoretical discovery of a series of weakly-bound three-body quantum states known as Efimov states/” and “/in recognition of his ground-breaking experiments confirming the Efimov effect/”, respectively.

The nomination deadline for the 2021 “Faddeev Medal” is April 15, 2021.

Please send the nomination packet as a single pdf file to Doerte Blume. Alternatively, send your suggestion for a potential nominator to the same email address by January 15, 2021. The selection committee especially encourages nominations of women and members of underrepresented minority groups.

The nomination packet should include:

1. A nominating statement;
2. The statement of support for the nomination by the co-nominator;
3. A suggested citation of up to 100 words;
4. A CV of the candidate; and
5. Up to two additional support letters.
