1 “Excellent” is the highest global mark that can be awarded for a PhD thesis at the dissertation at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya,

BarcelonaTech. The examination panel grants the “Cum laude” mention if the global mark is excellent and all the attendant members of the

examination panel vote unanimously in this sense, see: doctorat.upc.edu/tesi/thesis_defense.php 2 For European PhD students, in addition to the Doctoral Diploma delivered by the candidate’s own university, candidates can also receive a

formal “European Doctorate” certificate, in accordance with the recommendations of the Conference of European Rectors. This mentioning reflects the activeness of the PhD candidate within the EU and is based on specific requirements, such as a minimum stay of three months in

an institution of an EU member country other than the host country during the academic stage. 3 “mit Auszeichnung bestanden” (very good with distinction, outstanding) is the highest grade that can be awarded for a dissertation at the

Fakultät für Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik, see: www.tuwien.ac.at

4 In primary, secondary and tertiary education the Austrian grading system is based upon a five-point scale. Within, '1' or "sehr gut /

excellent" is the highest achievable grade and '5' the lowest, usually earned for less than 50% of the maximum achievable credit. Each grade

is provided with a definition that lays down the criteria for assessment.

5 ERC Starting Grants are awarded by the European Research Council. Selection of excellent ideas that have not happened yet and funding of the scientists that are dreaming them up is based on scientific excellence. Researchers of any nationality with 2-7 years of experience since

completion of PhD having a track record showing great scientific promise are eligible. In case of the respective call ERC-2018-STG a large

number of 3170 proposals had been submitted in total, of which 403 (or 12.7%) have been selected for funding based on written proposal and personal interview. See: erc.europa.eu

6 Marie Curie Career Integration Grants are granted by the European Commission and are intended to improve considerably the prospects for

the permanent integration of researchers who are offered a stable research post in Europe after a mobility period in a country different from the country where the researcher has been active during the past years, and are thereby attracting and retaining the best talents in Europe. In

case of the respective call FP7-PEOPLE-2012-CIG, a score of 90/100 has been achieved, lifting the proposal among the top-200 out of 912

submitted proposals. See: ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions

7 The FPU scholarship is granted by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and aims at the formation of professional scientific staff

at the academic level and supports postgraduate students that are pursuing their doctoral thesis in Spain. Admission is based on outstanding

results in the undergraduate studies and sponsors the academically gifted top-group of the student population. In case of the application in

2007, 28 scholarships have been given to the scientific domain of electrical and communication engineering, with a required qualification grade of 5.94. In course of this scholarship, a separate application for a mobility with a duration of 4 months was granted in addition, for a

scientific vacancy at a research institution within Europe. See: www.educacion.gob.es 8 The IEEE Photonics Society provides a limited number of postgraduate student travel grants to scientific congresses, based on the amount

and quality of scientific work contributed to the congress, see: www.photonicssociety.org 9 The Tingye Li Innovation Prize is presented to a young professional who has demonstrated innovative ideas in their accepted presentation

during the OFC or CLEO conferences. Eligible papers are these top-scored in the conference sub-committees, across all conference tracks. See: https://www.osa.org/en-us/foundation/programs/tingye_li_prize_criteria 10 The “Photonics21 Student Innovation Award” is granted by the European Technology Platform Photonics21 for outstanding PhD student

research works in the field of photonics, especially related to R&D with industrial impact. The award in 2012 was shared among two

winners, who had been selected from 28 applications. See: www.photonics21.org 11 The “Best Student Paper Presentation Award” of ECOC 2011, Geneva, Switzerland, recognizes research excellence of doctorate students.

The finalists are chosen from the top applicant papers from each technical sub-committee with respect to their scores, see:

www.ecoc2011.org 12 The “EURO-FOS Student Research Award” recognizes the research efforts of PhD students and their contribution in the advancements of

technology related to photonics systems. Eligible for application were all European doctorate students who had either completed their thesis

during the academic year 2010/2011, or were about to do so within the next year. For the call in 2011, 14 applications had been submitted.
