Albert Einstein Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Albert Einstein Award is a prestigious award in theoretical physics, named after the famous physicist Albert Einstein. It was first awarded in 1951 and included a prize money of $15,000.
This should not be confused with the Albert Einstein World Award of Science given by the World Cultural Council (since 1984), the Albert Einstein Medal given by the Albert Einstein Society (since 1979), nor with the Hans Albert Einstein Award given by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
