Emmy Awards
The Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Awards given by the Television Academy recognize the groundbreaking work done by engineers and other experts of ITU’s Radiocommunication Bureau and exemplifies successful public-private sector collaboration to enhance the quality and accessibility of digital technologies.
The 2023 Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Award for the development of a radiocommunication standard for High Dynamic Range Television (HDR-TV) is the third Emmy Award received by the ITU Radiocommunication Study Groups. Two previous awards received by ITU’s Radiocommunication Bureau include the Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for standardizing Loudness Metering in Broadcast Audio in 2012. In 1983, the CCIR (now ITU-R) received the Emmy Award for establishing a common world standard for digital television studios.
The 2023 Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Award brings to six the total number of Emmy Awards received by ITU.
