The diversity of photonics and its applications in industry, medicine, the environment and many other areas poses a challenge in training young people for a career in photonics-related activities. As in other interdisciplinary fields, training in photonics requires knowledge from several fields, notably physics, materials science, computer science and engineering, and the successful application of photonics may also require a detailed understanding of fields such as engineering, biotechnology, nanotechnology, electronics or medicine.

One of the major challenges of Photonics21 is the education and training of young professionals in the field of photonics.
Photonics21 Student Innovation Award
To support excellent photonics research works with a high industrial impact, Photonics21 established the Photonics21 Student Innovation Award. The prize is awarded once a year and is worth 5000 € sponsored by Photonics21 member companies and organizations.
