Faraday Medal (IOP)
The Faraday Medal of the British Institute of Physics (IOP) is awarded annually to outstanding experimental physicists and physicists with an international reputation. It is named after Michael Faraday . The medal emerged in 2008 from the Guthrie Lecture , founded in 1914 (named in honor of the founder of the IOP Frederick Guthrie ) of the IOP, which in turn was replaced by a Guthrie Medal in 1965 . It is one of the top IOP prizes and is endowed with £ 1,000.
There is also the Michael Faraday Prize of the Royal Society , which is also associated with a medal, and the Faraday Medals of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for electrochemists and those of the Institution of Electric Engineers (IEE).
