Student Awards

Discover the laureates

The OMEGA Prize Student Awards are intended to honor the best Masters projects completed by students of the Microengineering Section of the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). The work should contribute to scientific and technological advances in the following disciplines:

To apply, students must submit one copy of their Master project to the Director of the Microengineering Section. Deadline for application: on the regular submission date for Master projects.

Each award amounts to 1000 Swiss francs, usually in addition to an OMEGA watch. The Board of the Foundation of the OMEGA Prize determines the number of awards available every year. The OMEGA Prize award ceremony is held concurrently with the graduation ceremony for Masters Degrees in Microengineering at EPFL.

Application procedure:
The application deadline for the OMEGA Student Award is August 15.
The student sends his report in pdf format to the microengineering section (isabelle.schafer@epfl.ch), accompanied by a cover letter highlighting the objectives achieved during the master's project and the arguments for obtaining the prize. The professor in charge of the project sends to the section the project evaluation form, also indicating the note.
