History
Until 1938, Austrian physicists were part of the German Physical Society. On 13 December 1950, it was decided to found a separate society for Austria and Fritz Kohlrausch was elected as first president in 1951.
Prizes
Every year it awards a prize to a promising young physicist. Alternating every year, this is the Ludwig Boltzmann Prize for theoretical physics and the Fritz Kohlrausch Prize for experimental physics.

gollark: Some of the non-programming people are doing hardware design somewhat, which is useful.
gollark: Only the computer science cohort of not many people is doing it, but due to scheduling only about 3 of us actually have significant programming experience.
gollark: We basically have that!
gollark: The competition is in March, it's totally* fine.
