MRS Medal — award for exceptional achievement in materials research (past 10 years)

About this program

The Materials Research Society (MRS) awards the annual MRS Medal for an exceptional achievement in materials research made within the past ten years, recognizing a major advance or closely related cluster of advances across any materials-related field. The award package includes a $5,000 cash prize, an engraved and mounted medal, a citation certificate, paid registration to the MRS meeting where the medal talk is presented, and reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses. Nominees must be put forward through the MRS nomination process, and selection is primarily based on the demonstrated impact of the work on the progress of the relevant materials field; full rules and nomination requirements are available on the MRS awards webpage.
