FOM Valorisation Prize

The FOM Valorisation Prize has been established by FOM to encourage knowledge utilisation from physics research. The prize is awarded each year to a Dutch researcher (or research group) within the field of physics who has successfully managed to make the results from his or her own research useful for society. The FOM Valorisation Prize is a conferred honour and an inspiring example for others.
