The EOS Prize is awarded for the best paper published in the open access online journal of the EOS (JEOS:RP) https://jeos.springeropen.com/.

In 2020, the EOS Prize was awarded to the paper titled ,,Tapered Photonics Crystalfibers coated with ultra-thin films for highly sensitive bio-chemical sensingby Vladimir P. Minkovitch from Guanajuato University, Mexico and Alexander B. Sotsky from Mogilev State University, Mogilev, Belarus. The winners received diplomas and honorarium included in this award. Warm congratulations to the winners!

The history of the EOS Prize

Thanks to Pierre Zaleski, the former administrator of Europtica Services IC (ESIC), EOS has received a donation from the capital remaining after the dissolution of ESIC. According to the wishes expressed by ESIC, this donation will be managed in such a way as to generate revenue to be used for an EOS prize to promote OPTICS in the widest form in Europe.
