Faraday Medal and Prize
This article is about the medal and prize awarded by the Institute of Physics (IOP). For other prizes named after Michael Faraday, see Faraday Prize (disambiguation).
The Faraday Medal and Prize is a prize awarded annually by the Institute of Physics in experimental physics, one of the Institute's Gold medals.[1]
From 1914 to 1966 it took the form of the Guthrie Lecture after when it was replaced by the Guthrie Medal and Prize, in memory of Frederick Guthrie, founder of the Physical Society (which merged with the Institute of Physics in 1960). In 2008 the award was renamed the Faraday Medal and Prize, which is awarded annually "for outstanding contributions to experimental physics, to a physicist of international reputation in any sector" and known as the Faraday medal of the Institute of Physics. The medal is silver gilt and accompanied by a prize of £1000 and a certificate.[2]
