Richard Geller PRIZE

 

The Richard Geller prize rewards «an exceptionnal contribution to the development of ECR sources and encourage young talented researchers». It was created by the company Pantechnik, world leader of ECR ion source. This prize is given every second year, during the ECRIS international conference on sources. The first prize delivery, together with a award of 4000 euros took place during the 18th ECRIS conference in Chicago in 2008.
