STUDENT AWARDS
most remarkable and outstanding research work
To encourage high-quality work amongst young researchers, the EU PVSEC Student Awards will be delivered in recognition of the most remarkable and outstanding research work in the field of PV.
Applications for the Student Awards were reviewed and scored by the international Scientific Committee, made up of around 300 leading research and industry experts from the global PV community.
The prizes will be awarded during the Closing of the Conference.
