A Romanian researcher has won the "Emmy Noether" Prize for Women in Physics. Cătălina Curceanu, who is working for over 25 years in Italy, at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics of Frascati, told RRA Reporter Elena Postelnicu, what this distinction means to her: "This Emmy Noether Award from the European Society of Physics is a prize I got for the scientific activity and the disclosure of scientific activity.
It is a very important prize, as it rewards both the results I have gained in the experiments in Italy and abroad, as well as the outstanding results in scientific education and disclosure.
It is a prize that has the goal of encouraging and rewarding women working in science, to provide models for young girls, to encourage them to study science”.
The prize was established in memory of the German mathematician Amalie Emmy Noether, considered to be one of the most important women in the history of mathematics, thanks to her contributions to the field of algebra and physics.
