Celebrating the brightest light in our labs.
This award honors the shining force within our FilmEU Cosmos’ labs – the individual whose dedication, creativity, collaborative spirit and innovation have illuminated new paths for others. The Lab Luminary Award recognises not only hard work but also the ability to inspire, connect, and keep the labs alive with energy and imagination.
