The Eugene Feenberg Memorial Medal (or Feenberg Award) is awarded under the auspices of the International Advisory Committee of the RPMBT series. First awarded in 1985, it recognizes work that is firmly established and has significantly advanced the field of many-body physics.

The Feenberg Award was established in 1983 by the many-body physics community at the third conference of the RPMBT series (RPMBT-3). It serves to preserve the memory of the unique and enduring contributions of Eugene Feenberg to Physics, especially to the foundations of nuclear physics and the microscopic quantum many-body physics of nuclei and quantum fluids.

The Feenberg Award for 2026 has been jointly awarded to Matthew Fisher (University of California, Santa Barbara), Leonid Glazman (Yale University), and Charles Kane (University of Pennsylvania),

for transformative contributions to the many-body theory of interacting electrons, establishing the modern understanding of one-dimensional conductors, quantum Hall transport, and topological quantum phenomena.
