Bourke Award
The Bourke Award is an award in physical chemistry (or chemical physics) from the Royal Society of Chemistry . It has been awarded annually since 1955 and was originally the Bourke Lecture of the Faraday Society . It is endowed with 2000 pounds and associated with a medal. The winner is holding a lecture series in Great Britain. Members of the Royal Society of Chemistry are eligible to nominate. The award is also given to foreigners.
It is named after Lieutenant John Bourke (1865-1933), who donated to the Royal Society of Chemistry and in 1903 was a founding member of the Faraday Society. He was a doctor, but had also studied chemistry and headed various mints in India. In retirement he built a chemical library and had a well-equipped private laboratory in which he experimented. The Faraday Society later became part of the Royal Society of Chemistry as its Faraday Division.
