Wu-Ki Tung Award for Early-Career Research on QCD

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the Wu-Ki Tung Award for Early-Career Research on QCD. The Wu-Ki Tung award is to recognize outstanding contributions made by early-career physicists on experimental or theoretical research on Quantum Chromodynamics. The award will be given annually and will consist of a certificate citing the contributions of the recipient and support for travel to a CTEQ Summer School to deliver an invited lecture. Nominees must have received a Ph.D. in experimental or theoretical particle physics within the last seven years, excluding any career breaks, by the time of nomination.

Information for contributing to the Wu-Ki Tung Award Fund can be found here

Questions may be directed to Nikos Varelas
