The CIE Midterm Event 2025 is dedicated to supporting the future leaders of light and lighting science. Recognizing the importance of young researchers, CIE offers several initiatives to encourage their participation and development. These opportunities aim to help Master’s and PhD students benefit from the experience and knowledge within the CIE community.
Benefits for Young Researchers:
- Reduced Registration Fees: Special discounted rates are available for students to enhance accessibility.
- Best Student Paper Award: Open exclusively to students who are first authors of their papers and present their research at the conference.
- Workshop on Lighting Education: “Illuminating the Future: Collaborative Strategies for Advancing Global Lighting Education” – This interactive workshop is open to all attendees and focuses on advancing global lighting education through strategic collaboration and knowledge exchange. While the workshop is designed to benefit the young community in particular, it also aims to foster innovative and inclusive approaches to talent development and global educational initiatives, strengthening the international lighting community as a whole.
- Networking Opportunities: Dedicated events for students, CIE newcomers, and CIE leadership to engage in discussions, share experiences, and build lasting connections.
- Held at the Dschungel Café in the vibrant Museumsquartier of Vienna, these events offer a relaxed setting with food and drinks to foster informal interactions.
These initiatives are designed to support the growth of young researchers and integrate them into the international CIE network.
