The Royal Society's Medals, Awards, Prizes and Prize Lectures are an important part of our work in recognising excellence in science across the disciplines and exist to reward those who have made outstanding achievements.
Several of our Awards and Prize lectures require the recipient to give a Prize lecture, open to the public to attend.
Other awards are presented at invitation-only award ceremonies. These are available to view here.
