Prince Philip Medal

The Prince Philip Medal is named after Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who was the Senior Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE). In 1989 Prince Philip agreed to the commissioning of solid gold medals to be "awarded periodically to an engineer of any nationality who has made an exceptional contribution to engineering as a whole through practice, management or education."[2] The first of these medals was awarded in 1991 to Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle.

Background

The Prince Philip medal is awarded through the Royal Academy of Engineering. Nominations are opened around September each year. Candidates can be from any nationality and hence it is an international award. Although it is an annual award, at times when there is no qualified candidate, the medal is not awarded. Winners include people from industry and university.
