Faraday Lecture and Prize
The Faraday Lecture and the associated price ( Faraday Lectureship Prize ), also known as the Faraday Lecture , is an honor that is last bestowed every two years by the British Royal Society of Chemistry for “extraordinary contributions to physical or theoretical chemistry” .
The Faraday lectures are named after Michael Faraday . The first was held by Jean-Baptiste Dumas in 1869, two years after Faraday's death . The award is endowed with £ 5000; the recipient also receives a medal and a certificate. The laureate also gives a public lecture in which he reports on his work.
