Since 2022, ibidi has annually offered the "ibidi Paper Award," which recognizes excellent peer-reviewed publications that cite an ibidi product and contribute to a selected field of life science research. The award consists of a financial contribution of EUR 500 per awardee and gives early career researchers greater visibility for their scientific work.

The ibidi Paper Award was created to highlight outstanding research from the scientific community and to recognize published work that advances our understanding of cellular behavior, disease mechanisms, and experimental model systems.
