WCPEC-8 Student Awards
To encourage high-quality work amongst young researchers, on the occasion of the WCPEC-8, the WCPEC Student Awards will be delivered in recognition of the most remarkable and outstanding research work in the field of PV.
Applications for the WCPEC Student Awards were reviewed and scored by the international Scientific Committee, made up of more than 250 leading research and industry experts from the global PV community.
The prizes will awarded during the Conference.
