The EPS - Edison - Volta Award collects the legacy of the Francesco Somaini Award for Physics, an Italian politician and entrepreneur to whom we owe the collection of memorabilia and writings of Alessandro Volta.
In 2012 Edison, along with the Alessandro Volta Foundation of Como and the European Physical Society, decided to give the honor an international dimension in order to take over its cultural and scientific heritage.
The award winners around the world:
4 in France, 3 in Italy, 2 in Germany, 1 in UK, 1 in US, 1 in Indonesia
