International Student Awards

The Innovation Award Laser Technology is a European research prize awarded at 2-yearly intervals.

The award can be conferred on an individual researcher or on an entire project group, whose exceptional skills and dedicated work have led to an outstanding innovation in the field of laser technology. The scientific and technological projects in question must center on the use of laser light in materials processing and the methods of producing such light, and must furthermore be of demonstrable commercial value to industry. The media exposure associated with the award offers an opportunity to promote a wider public interest in the technological advances of laser technology.

The use of light can contribute to a sustainable development, e.g. in the field of energy efficiency, protection of the environment, climate protection, etc.. Examples in the field of photonics range from efficient lasers in production, to optical metroloy and sensors, to energy-efficient lighting.

If you focus your Bachelor, Master, Diploma thesis or PhD work on green photonics, you can apply for the prize Green Photonics.
