The deadline to present nominations for the 2026 EHPRG Award is approaching. The nomination deadline is Tuesday, 31st March 2026 and nominations must be received by 23:59 (CEST, Central Europe Summer Time). The Award comes with a 750 € prize and will be presented to the winner during the 63rd EHPRG Meeting, which will be held in Palavas-les-Flots, Montpellier, France, 23-28 August 2026 (Chairs: Julien Haines and Jérôme Rouquette). At the same event, the Award winner will present an Award lecture. Nomination rules for the EHPRG Award and the nomination form can be found on the EHPRG website at https://www.ehprg.org/award.php Nominations (and self-nominations) from all fields of high-pressure research are welcome, where high pressure is here defined to mean above 1000 bar (100 MPa). The EHPRG Award is awarded annually to a promising young scientist or engineer in high-pressure science and technology. Their work should mostly have been carried out at a European research institution (or several), but nominees do not need to be citizens of a European country.

The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put under immense pressure? Observing quantum effects under pressure has proven difficult for a simple reason: Designing sensors that can withstand extreme forces is challenging.

Also a huge congratulations to Dr. Anna Pakhomova (ESRF) for winning the 2025 EHPRG Award for her pioneering research on mineralogy of large icy moons ❄️🌙

The award was presented by WHP President and EHPRG Chairperson Dr Julia Contreras-García.

It is incredible to have such successful female researchers as role models!
