Second revised edition
In 2019 the Italian Physical Society (Società Italiana di Fisica, SIF) and the SoNS (School of
Neutron Scattering "Francesco Paolo Ricci" Association) have jointly commissioned a report
concerning a strategy for neutron facilities in geographical Europe
Every year, during the opening ceremony of SIF the National Congress, prizes are awarded to young physicists who have distinguished themselves in their studies and research activities, and to physicists for their skills in physics teaching or history of physics research. Besides there are also prizes in commemoration of late eminent physicists for researchers working in specific fields.
