The CIE Session 2027 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.
  • Networking Opportunities: Dedicated events for students, CIE newcomers, and CIE leadership to engage in discussions, share experiences, and build lasting connections.
    • Hold at the main venue, Nanjing International Youth Conference Centre. This is your preferred platform to meet new friends, share research ideas, and exchange experiences with peers worldwide. Enjoy food and drinks while toasting and chatting with new friends in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

These initiatives are designed to support the growth of young researchers and integrate them into the international CIE network.
