The Faraday Lectureship Prize, previously
known simply as the Faraday Lectureship is
awarded once every three years (approximately)
by the Royal Society of Chemistry for "exceptional
contributions to physical or theoretical chemistry".
Named after Michael Faraday, the first Faraday
Lecture was given in 1869, two years after
Faraday's death, by Jean-Baptiste Dumas.
As of 2009, the prize was worth £5000, with
the recipient also receiving a medal and a
certificate.
As the name suggests, the recipient also gives
a public lecture describing his or her work.
