Awards & Prizes

ISMAR Awards & Prizes will be presented on Sunday, April 6 in the opening session of the joint ENC-ISMAR conference. Each award recipient will present a talk during this session on Sunday afternoon. Recipients of the ISMAR Awards & Prizes are announced in advance, please see below for details on each of the 2025 recipients.

The Varian Young Investigator Award at ENC will also be presented in the Sunday opening session.

ENC's prestigious Laukien Prize sponsored by Bruker will be presented as is tradition in the Monday morning plenary session on April 7. The identity(ies) of the 2025 Laukien Prize recipients will remain secret until the Monday morning session. Prize winner(s) will deliver the plenary lecture on Monday morning.

The many ENC Student & Postdoc Award recipients will be recognized in the closing plenary session on Thursday afternoon, April 10.

The International EPR/ESR Society (IES) will award the 2025 IES medal in Physics to Patrice Bertet during the EPR II parallel session on Tuesday, April 8 at 4:00 pm.


ISMAR Prize & Lecture Recipients 2025

ISMAR Prize
Professor Dame Clare Grey is awarded the 2025 ISMAR prize for her superb and long-standing developments of solid-state paramagnetic NMR and pioneering applications of solid-state NMR to materials relevant to energy and the environment, where she has successfully jumped the chasm between interesting and original NMR research to real-world applications of great importance for humanity.


Anatole Abragam Prize 
Dr. Irene Marco-Rius from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, Barcelona, is awarded the Anatole Abragam Prize 2025 for her original contributions to hyper-polarized Magnetic Resonance in the field of biomedical imaging and spectroscopy and for pioneering the use of magnetic resonance to study cells grown on chips (“organ-on-a-chip” model), allowing the ex vivo metabolic assessment of disease mechanisms and therapy responses in a highly controlled microenvironment.

Paul Callaghan Lecture
Prof. Sami Jannin develops new hyperpolarization approaches for preparing nuclear spins in highly polarized or ‘aligned’ states to augment their sensitivity in magnetic resonance.


2025 International EPR/ESR Society (IES) Medal in Physics

Prof. Patrice Bertet from CEA Saclay and Université Paris-Saclay is awarded the IES Medal in Physics for his groundbreaking contributions to the quantum physics of electron spin resonance (ESR), including seminal observations of fundamental phenomena in spin resonance as well as profound technological developments in spin sensitivity. His pioneering results include the first observation of cavity-induced relaxation of spins, as originally predicted by Purcell in 1946, and most recently, the demonstration of single-spin pulsed ESR achieved using novel single microwave photon detectors. Bertet’s research is driven by pushing ESR spectroscopy into new domains and extremes, down to millikelvin temperatures. He has used Josephson parametric amplifiers to reach ESR sensitivity at the quantum limit of noise and employed vacuum-state squeezing to surpass these noise limits. By bridging quantum optics, superconducting circuits, and spin physics, Bertet has repeatedly redefined state-of-the-art ESR sensitivity through new paradigms for spin manipulation and detection. He has used these capabilities to study NV centers in diamond, dopants in silicon, and rare-earth ions in low-nuclear spin oxides, obtaining electron spin coherence times of tens to hundreds of milliseconds for near-surface spins. His sustained and transformative contributions to the field over the past 15 years make him a highly deserving recipient of this award.
