Holders of the Faraday medal of the Institute of Electrical Engineers (1922–2009)
The Faraday medal, named after the natural philosopher Michael Faraday (1791–1867)
, is the highest award of the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE). It was established in 1922 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the first ordinary meeting of the Society of Telegraph Engineers, subsequently the IEE. Awarded by the IEE not more than once a year, the medal is given in recognition of notable scientific or industrial achievement in electrical engineering, or for conspicuous service rendered to the advancement of electrical science. There is no restriction as regards nationality, country of residence, or membership of the IEE. In practice most recipients have either been of British nationality or spent a substantial proportion of their careers in Britain.The IEE's Faraday medal should not be confused with the Royal Society of Chemistry's Faraday medal, awarded to the givers of the triennial Faraday lectures (instituted in 1869), or with the Royal Society's Faraday medal, awarded annually (since 1986) to the winners of the Michael Faraday prize.
