Institute of Physics awards
The Institute of Physics awards exist to recognise and reward outstanding achievements by physicists in their respective fields, working in industry, business or research.
In 2008 the awards portfolio expanded and so we now have 27 medals that cover all areas of modern physics as well as contributions made to physics outreach, physics education, the application of physics and physics based technologies. The Institute also awards medals with other international societies, including the new Occhialini medal, which is awarded jointly with the Italian Physical Society.
It is our aim to identify and honour physicists who are today making remarkable contributions and to encourage younger members of our community to greater success in the future. The process of identification increases the sense of community within our Institute and the celebration of these accomplishments serves to raise the profile of physics internationally.
