In memory of our beloved colleague Simon Eidelman (1948-2021), a prize will be awarded to a young researcher (<8 years experience after Ph.D.) for contributions to experimental hadron physics, including theory developments that led to significant experimental progress.
Simon was a very important member of the hadron physics community and of the IAC of this conference.
He encouraged and supported young researchers and his scientific contributions to the field were numerous and will have a lasting impact on future generations.
See the prize website for more details.
