The KIF Prize is awarded annually to raise awareness about the significance of women in physics. The prize aims to recognize a person with a background in the physical sciences (physics and engineering) as a role model, whether they work in research, industry, the public sector, teaching, or similar. The prize will be awarded to a person who, through their professional work, outreach, mentoring, and volunteering, inspires women and other minorities in the physical sciences, motivates young women and girls to pursue a career in STEM, and advocates for gender equality, diversity, and inclusion in the broader community.
