Awards
The ETS sponsors several awards particularly at each European Thermoelectric Conference ECT promoting education, research and developments in the field of thermoelectricity in accordance with the statues of ETS.
New awards have been announced by ETS:
ETS Challenge
The award aims at promoting a collective effort towards critical and relevant topics in thermoelectricity. ETS announces a call for topics every year in the ETS website. The Awardee receives a plate and an invited talk at the upcoming ECT.
Best PhD Thesis
The award recognizes the best PhD thesis on thermoelectrics successfully defended in a European country. Applications by non-European scientists who defended their PhD thesis in Europe are welcome. A call for applications is announced in ETS website and the applications must be submitted every year by February 15. The Award to the best PhD thesis on thermoelectrics is a money prize of 500 euros, a plate, and an invited talk at the next ECT.
Fellowships for students to attend ETC
The fellowship will support participation to ECT of European graduate students from less wealthy research groups. A call for applications is announced in ETS website 4 months before the conference and the applications must be submitted at least 2 months before the deadline of early registrations. The fellowship covers the student’s registration only (early bird fee).

The European Thermoelectric Society announces that applications are open for the 2024 Best PhD Thesis Award.
The award recognizes the best PhD thesis on thermoelectrics successfully defended in a European country in 2024. Applications by non-European scientists who defended their PhD thesis in Europe are welcome. Applications must be submitted by February 15, 2025 and must include:
- the PhD thesis (if in English) or an extended abstract of the thesis in English (3 pages or more);
- peer-reviewed papers authored by the applicant and related to the thesis topics;
- a letter of the thesis supervisor supporting the application;
- a cover letter describing motivations, goals, and results of the PhD thesis.
Theses will be evaluated by three anonymous reviewers who had no collaboration with any of the candidates/tutors over the past five years. ETS retains the right not to assign the Award. The winner will be announced by April 15, 2025 on the ETS website and by e-mail to the winning applicant.
The Award to the best PhD thesis on thermoelectrics is a money prize of 500 euros, a plate, and an invited talk at ECT 2025.
Applications must be sent within the deadline of Feb. 15, 2025 to European.Thermoelectric.Soc@gmail.com as a single zip file, either as an attachment or as a link to a freely accessible cloud drive.
