Few-Body Systems - Few-Body Systems at the EFB25 (2023) conference in Mainz - Update and Reminiscences

EFB25, held in Mainz last month, was a great opportunity for the journal (FBSY) to be again present among the scientific community. After the pandemic, it was also the first opportunity to catch up with the award ceremonies for all prizes that had been awarded nominally for 2021 and 2022.

First of all the  Few-Body Systems Award 2022 for young professionals (this opens in a new tab)  and we would like to congratulate again the prize winners – this time in addition for the excellent talks they delivered at this occasion – and who are shown below  together with the conference organizers and the members of the prize committee.

Then, of course also the Faddeev medal 2021 (this opens in a new tab) awarded to Prof. Evgeny Epelbaum whose talk was introduced by Prof. Doerte Blume on behalf of APS, the co-sponsor of this award.

Last but certainly not least, we took the opportunity to meet with the journal’s Field Editors (this opens in a new tab) for a both productive and pleasant in-person editorial board meeting  - reviewing the journal’s editorial policies and key parameters, as well as exploring various aspects of journal development.

For EFB25 speakers let us mention the option to contribute to a topical collection (this opens in a new tab) of peer-reviewed papers from EFB25.
