The Ferraro Prize, funded by the non-profit association "Premio Vincenzo Ferraro" and chaired by Mrs. Ferraro, is not only a tangible tribute to the great scientist but also aims to preserve the memory of Vincenzo Ferraro as an individual. It serves as a testament to his significant contributions to scientific research, particularly in the field of astrophysics.
Each year, the "Vincenzo Ferraro Prize" association organizes an award ceremony in Sorrento for the prize winner, primarily targeting students from local high schools. The ceremony aims to educate students about Vincenzo Ferraro's work, present the current state of research in space plasma physics in an accessible manner, and inspire scientific curiosity to encourage them to pursue degrees in scientific fields. To achieve this, the ceremony features contributions from researchers involved in space programs dedicated to plasma physics, as well as distinguished guests.
