Kavli Medal and Lecture winner 2017
The Kavli Medal and Lecture is awarded to Professor Henry Snaith FRS for his discovery and development of highly efficient perovskite solar cells which promise to dramatically increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar energy.
Professor Snaith will be awarded a medal of bronze gilt, and a gift of £1,000 at the associated lecture in April 2017.
The award
The Kavli Medal and Lecture is awarded biennially (in odd years) for excellence in all fields of science and engineering relevant to the environment or energy.
The next call for nominations opens in November 2017.
