2019 Dirac Medal and Prize Ceremony

The 2019 Dirac Medal and Prize Ceremony which was due to take place in May 2020 during the ICTP Summer School on Cosmology 2020 has been re-scheduled to Friday 29 January 2021 starting at 13.30 hrs and will be online.

ICTP awarded its 2019 Dirac Medal and Prize to three physicists whose research has made a profound impact on modern cosmology. Viatcheslav Mukhanov (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich), Alexei Starobinsky (Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics) and Rashid Sunyaev (Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics) share the prize for “their outstanding contributions to the physics of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) with experimentally tested implications that have helped to transform cosmology into a precision scientific discipline by combining microscopic physics with the large scale structure of the Universe.”

All are welcome to attend the events which will be livestreamed from the ICTP website.
A more detailed programme outline as well as the Zoom ID to register for the online event will follow.
