Since 2008, the PCIM Europe Conference has been recognizing noteworthy entries and promoting young talent in the power electronics industry at its annual awards ceremony. The winning submissions will be presented by the award winners at the conference from 11 – 13 June 2024 in Nuremberg. The PCIM Europe Advisory Board, chaired by Prof. Dr. Leo Lorenz, ECPE, selected the top five from over 500 submissions. The criteria for the awards were the topicality, relevance and quality of the submissions.

The Best Paper Award recognizes the three most outstanding submissions overall. Engineers aged 30 and under were eligible to apply for the Young Engineer Award. Since 2022, the Young Researcher Award has been presented to an author up to the age of 30 from the field of science and research institutions.

The awards were presented by Prof. Dr. Leo Lorenz and this year's conference sponsors Littelfuse, Mitsubishi Electric and Semikron Danfoss during the conference opening and award ceremony at the PCIM Europe Conference 2024. The winners of the awards will also receive prize money of €1,000.
