You are cordially invited to participate in the 2019 DIRAC Medal Award 
Ceremony which will take place on Friday 29 January @ 13.30 hrs (online 
event).

ICTP awarded its 2019 Dirac Medal and Prize to three physicists whose 
research has made a profound impact on modern cosmology. Viatcheslav 
Mukhanov (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich), Alexei Starobinsky 
(Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics) and Rashid Sunyaev (Max 
Planck Institute for Astrophysics) share the prize for “their 
outstanding contributions to the physics of the Cosmic Microwave 
Background (CMB) with experimentally tested implications that have 
helped to transform cosmology into a precision scientific discipline by 
combining microscopic physics with the large scale structure of the 
Universe.

The 2019 Dirac Medal and Prize Ceremony  was originally due to take 
place in 2020 during the ICTP Summer School on Cosmology and is now 
re-scheduled to Friday 29 January 2021 starting at 13.30 hrs online. For
