At the CIE 2025 Midterm Conference, three prestigious awards will be presented to honor outstanding contributions in the field of light and lighting science:

  • Best Paper: Awarded to the best full-length paper based on the quality and impact of the research.
  • Best Poster: Open to all accepted posters, including those initially submitted as oral presentations but later reallocated to poster sessions.
  • Best Student Paper: Open to papers where the lead author is a student, who must also present the paper at CIE 2025. This must be indicated during the submission process.

The selection of award winners will be carried out by the Vice-President Technical (VPT) and the International Scientific Programme Committee (ISPC). Winners will be recognized for the excellence of their work and will receive up to three selected CIE publications, complimentary registration for CIE 2027, and their papers will be considered for inclusion in special issues of the journals Lighting Research and Technology (LR&T) and Color Research and Application (CR&A).
