We are pleased to announce the call for nominations for the Becquerel Prize 2025, which honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of photovoltaic solar energy. The prize, established in 1989 by the European Commission, will be awarded during the 42nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC), taking place in Bilbao, Spain, 22—26 September 2025.
Candidates must be nominated by another person. We invite all members of the community to submit nominations for deserving individuals whose work has had a major impact on the field of photovoltaics. The deadline for nominations is 12 May 2025, CET. Don’t miss this opportunity to recognize excellence in photovoltaics!
Details on the application can be found here.
Please note: Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect at the age of 19 and published his groundbreaking book “La lumière, ses causes et ses effets” (Light, its causes and effects) at the age of 47. We therefore also encourage the nomination of younger candidates!
