The 2023 EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Prize were during the conference. These are awarded biennially by the European Physical Society (EPS) to recognise outstanding research contributions in the areas of statistical physics, nonlinear physics, complex systems and complex networks.

The laureates for 2023 in the experienced scientist category were:

• Amnon Aharony (Tel Aviv University, Israel) is honored "for his seminal contributions in the application of renormalization group theory to critical phenomena and classification of universality classes, fractals and percolation, and the theory of disordered magnetic systems".
• Amos Maritan (University of Padova, Italy) is honored "for his seminal contributions in the understanding of the physical principles underlying collective behavior in biological systems, including protein folding, DNA organization, ecosystems, and river networks".

In the young researchers category, on the other hand, the winners were:

• Ada Altieri (Université Paris Cité) - for her outstanding contribution to theory of the jamming transition and to interdisciplinary applications of statistical physics to species-rich ecosystems,
• Patrick Pietzonka (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems) - for his outstanding contribution to the statistics of current fluctuations in active systems and to thermodynamic uncertainty relations.

Local organising committee was Katarzyna Sznajd-Weron (who also sits on the board of the EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Section), Marcin Magdziarz and Michał Balcerek.
