The Fritz London Memorial Prize is an international prize awarded once every three years and which is intended to recognize outstanding experimental and theoretical contributions to low temperature physics.
The prize is traditionally awarded in the first session of the International Low Temperature Conference, which is sponsored by the IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) and was first awarded in 1957. The prize is supported by endowments created at Duke University by the late John Bardeen, by the organisers of LT20 and LT22, and by Horst Meyer. In addition, Oxford Instruments has provided generous support since 1996.
