Physics@FOM Veldhoven is a large congress that provides a topical overview of physics in the Netherlands. It is organised by the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) and takes place each year in January. Traditionally, young researchers are given the chance to present themselves and their work alongside renowned names from the Dutch and international physics community. The programme covers Light and matter, Atomic, molecular and optical physics, Nanoscience and nanotechnology, Statistical physics and Soft condensed matter, Surfaces and interfaces, Physics of fluids, Subatomic physics, Plasma and fusion physics, and Strongly correlated systems.
At Physics@FOM 2016, the Minister of Education, Culture and Science, Jet Bussemaker, awarded the FOM prizes to four top scientists. Anouk Rijs received the Minerva Prize. Said Rodriguez received the FOM Physics Thesis Prize. And the FOM Valorisation Chapter Prize and the FOM Valorisation Prize for application-oriented research went to Gabriele Bulgarini and Jo van den Brand respectively.
