Rosenhain Medal & Prize
The Rosenhain Medal & Prize is presented in recognition of distinguished achievement in any branch of materials science, with preference given to nominees in their early career*.
The winner will receive a medal and £300.00
The Institute defines early career as meaning someone who is as of 1 September 2020 (and allows for career breaks, e.g. parental leave):
1. within 10 years of the start of their first employment (or self-employment) in a materials, minerals or mining related role, or
2. within 6 years of completing their PhD (in a relevant subject), whichever is sooner
Note - the 10 years from the start of their first employment would not normally include any apprenticeships (or equivalent training scheme)
Award judging
Nominations for the Rosenhain Medal & Prize are judged by the Structure & Properties of Materials Committee of the Materials Science & Technology Division.
