Faraday Medal and Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Guthrie Medal and Prize)
The Faraday Medal and Prize is a prize awarded annually by the Institute of Physics. The prize is awarded for "outstanding contributions to experimental physics, to a physicist of international reputation in any sector."[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. The medal is silver gilt and accompanied by a prize of £1000 and a certificate.
