The "LANE Best Presentation Award" honors the most inspiring talks presented by the most professional speakers of the conference. The three winners will be elected by the conference paticipants. The basis of voting for the best presentations should be the style of the talks as well as its contents. Keynote talks of the plenary session are not eligible.
The first place will be endowed with a price money of € 1,000 and a talk during the
plenary session at LANE 2026. The second and third place is rewarded with a prize money of € 500 each. In 2024 we have two first places that share
the price money of € 1,500 (€ 750 each).
The LANE 2024 Best Presentation Award is kindly sponsored by Förder- und Freundeskreis für den Ausbau der Lasertechnologie an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg e.V. (FFL e.V.).
