Student Awards
Following the success of the 37th EU PVSEC and to encourage high-quality work amongst young researchers, on the occasion of the 38th EU PVSEC the EU PVSEC Student Awards were delivered in recognition of the most remarkable and outstanding research work in the field of PV.
Applications for the EU PVSEC Student Awards will be reviewed and scored by the international Scientific Committee, made up of more than 200 leading research and industry experts from the global PV community.
The prizes will awarded during the Conference.
EU PVSEC 2020 Student Award Winners
The EU PVSEC Scientific Committee selected 17 international students who submitted abstracts to one of the seven topics of EU PVSEC’s conference programme. The Student Awards Committee, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Arno Smets, selected and presented the winners:
