CSE Awards
The CSE is opening nominations for two inaugural CSE Awards: CSE Award for Excellence in Cryogenic Engineering and CSE Early Career Award for Cryogenic Engineering.
CSE Award for Excellence in Cryogenic Engineering
We are opening nominations for the inaugural CSE Award for Excellence in Cryogenics.
The award will be given for notable engineering development leading to a major contribution in the field of cryogenics. The award is open to anyone based at a European institute, company, or university. Candidates must have several papers relevant to their major contributions published in peer-reviewed venues.
Candidates will be judged by the CSE Advisory Council. The CSE Board will make the final determination of the award, which consists of a 200€ prize, free 1-year membership to the CSE, and free European Cryogenic Days (ECD) registration for that year.
The award will be made in-person at the next ECD, and the successful candidate is invited to give a presentation at the event on their work.
Key Dates
Nominations are now open and will close on 15 July, 2026.
The winner will be notified by 14 August, 2026 at the latest so that they can arrange to attend the ECD in October.

CSE Early Career Award for Cryogenic Engineering
We are opening nominations for the inaugural CSE Early Career Award for Cryogenics.
The award will be given for notable achievements by an early career researcher or engineer in the field of cryogenics. The CSE considers early career to be individuals who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc, or PhD) within the past seven years. The award is open to anyone based at a European institute, company or university. Candidates must have at least one paper relevant to the contribution published in a peer-reviewed venue.
Candidates will be judged by the CSE Advisory Council. The CSE Board will make the final determination of the award, which consists of a 200€ prize, free 1-year membership to the CSE (for both the awardee and their supervisor) and free European Cryogenic Days (ECD) registration for that year.
The award will be made in-person at the next ECD, and the successful candidate is invited to give a presentation at the event on their work.
