HyperSpy receives Open Science Award for Open Source Research Software

HyperSpy, a python package for analyzing multidimensional data sets, has been awarded the Open Science Award for Open Source Research Software for 2025 in the category “Coup du Coeur of the Jury”. The award, given for the fourth time by the French Ministry of Research, was presented to representatives of the development team on December 1 in Paris during the French annual conference on scientific data (ANDOR 2025). HyperSpy and it’s extension LumiSpy are being co-developed by the team of the ZALKAL application laboratory and are used as main tool for our cathodoluminescence data analysis.
