Phillips Award
The Phillips Award is for distinguished service to the Institute of Physics.
This award is for members who have played a significant role in the Institute of Physics. We reward innovative ideas or activities that have made a major contribution to our objectives. Nominees may have made original contributions to:
- our groups
- our branches
- our governance
- the promotion of the Institute of Physics
Examples of distinguished service include:
- starting a new activity which becomes a sustainable contribution to the IOP’s strategy and charitable purpose
- establishing a new local centre which grows and develops to a thriving forum for membership and community engagement
- running a series of major conferences that become an established part of the physics research community
- embedding public engagement activities that make a tangible difference to the way children and the public connect with physics in a meaningful and lasting way
Making a nomination
We recognise that our members contribute to the IOP in many different ways and we do not have a set of criteria for making a nomination.
