We are pleased to announce this year's nomination phase for the 2025 Wu-Ki Tung Award for Early-Career Research on QCD. The Wu-Ki Tung award is to recognize outstanding contributions made by early-career physicists on experimental or theoretical research on Quantum Chromodynamics. One or, in exceptional cases, two awards will be given annually, each with a monetary prize of $5,000, travel support to give an invited presentation at a CTEQ workshop or summer school, and a plaque citing the contributions of the recipient. Nominations of candidates whose work has contributed to the interplay of theoretical and experimental research on QCD are especially encouraged.  

CTEQ is dedicated to serving a global community of physicists and fostering an inclusive environment worldwide. We welcome nominations from across the physics community, reflecting a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives that enrich our field.

Nominees must have received a Ph.D. in experimental or theoretical particle physics within the last seven years, excluding any career breaks, by the time of nomination. Further details on the nomination and selection process may be found on the following website:
