The CSIC Instituto de Óptica announces the fourth edition of the FOTÓN Awards, aimed at journalists and teachers
If you do scientific dissemination in the media or work in education and in 2020 you have carried out an initiative related to optics or photonics, you have until April 30, 2021 to present your candidacy for the IV Fotón Awards for Scientific Communication and Teaching at School. Announced by the CSIC's Instituto de Óptica in collaboration with the Spanish Optical Society, the awards consist of two categories: Photon emitted and Photon absorbed.


The absorbed photon award is intended for primary or secondary school teachers who have launched pedagogical initiatives aimed at encouraging the teaching of science and research, particularly optics and photonics.
The jury will especially take into account that the activity allows students to understand and participate in the research process, and not only to acquire new knowledge. Likewise, it will value that the proposal is reproducible and adaptable to other school environments.

The teaching team responsible for the initiative will receive an accrediting diploma and an identifying trophy, and didactic material with an estimated value of 1500 euros will be delivered to the teaching center.

The Issued Photon award recognizes the authors of articles, reports or original dissemination works that have been published or broadcast in Spanish media (press, radio, television, online media, etc.) and that bring the scientific impact to the public opinion, technological or social of optics and photonics.
The first prize in this category is endowed with € 1000 and the second, sponsored by the Southern European Cluster in Photonics and Optics (SECPHO), with € 500.

The rules of the award and the winners of other years can be consulted on the web www.io.csic.es/premiosfoton/
