About the "Applied Photonics Award"
How can I apply?
The
Applied Photonics Award emerged from the
Green Photonics Junior Award – now with a new look and new content alignment. It is awarded by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF in Jena. For over 25 years, the institute has been conducting application-oriented research in the field of photonics and developing innovative optical systems to control light. As key technologies, optics and photonics contribute to solving the challenges facing mankind today. This prize has been created for young scientists to honor particularly original and innovative theses dealing with the topics of applied photonics.
The Applied Photonics Award 2023 is open to all bachelor’s, master’s and diploma theses as well as dissertations (German/English) that were written in 2022 and 2023 at a German university or college, are considered to have passed and are particularly relevant in the field of applied photonics. Applicants can come from a wide range of disciplines – from mathematics or chemistry to applied optics and physics right up to materials science or biosciences.
You can find more detailed information about the application process (required documents, application deadline, etc.) here.
In addition to prize money, all winners have the opportunity to exhibit their final thesis to a broad specialist audience.
