Photon Science Award
The Center for Photon Science at Uppsala University awards the Uppsala Photon Science Award, which we have colloquially called the Årets Ljushuvud award, to award doctoral dissertations with particularly innovative use, development of photonology or particularly outstanding research results with photonic methods.
This year's Årets Ljushuvud are newly graduated doctors from Uppsala University who completed their doctorate during the previous calendar year.
