Laser Lab Awards
Now accepting applications
--2024 edition--
The Gentec-EO Laser Lab Awards event aims to support optics laboratories in universities and colleges all around the world. Its goal is to ensure students have access to the same quality measurement instruments that are used today in the industry.
To enter the event, applicants should describe how they intend to use the Gentec-EO material in their laboratory and elaborate on the physics principles their students will learn with this material. Applicants must be in a role where they provide instruction through laboratory demonstrations or experiments at a university or college.
