A Lavoisier Medal is an award named and given in honor of Antoine Lavoisier, considered by some to be a father of modern chemistry.[1]
At least three organizations independently give awards for achievement in chemical-related disciplines, each using the name Lavoisier Medal. Lavoisier Medals are awarded by the following organizations:
French Chemical Society (Société Chimique de France (SCF)) edit
The French Chemical Society's Médaille Lavoisier is given for work or actions which have enhanced the perceived value of chemistry in society.[1]
International Society for Biological Calorimetry (ISBC) edit
The ISBC's Lavoisier Medal is awarded to an internationally acknowledged scientist for an outstanding contribution to the development and/or the application of direct calorimetry in biology and medicine[2]

DuPont edit
The DuPont company's Lavoisier Medal for Technical Achievement is presented to DuPont scientists and engineers who have made outstanding contributions to DuPont and their scientific fields throughout their careers. Antoine Lavoisier mentored the founder of the company, E. I. du Pont, more than 200 years ago.
It was awarded 95 times from 1990 to 2013.[3][4] Stephanie Louise Kwolek received the award in 1995.[5] She was the first female DuPont employee to receive the honor.[6]
