Up until 2010, FOM awarded the Andries Miedema Prize once every two years to the best PhD research in the field of condensed matter. Andries Miedema (1933-1992) was one of the very few people who succeeded in combining leadership within fundamental research, industrial research and the national and European educational and research policies. In 2010, this prize was replaced by the FOM Physics Thesis Award.
