The award is given annually to outstanding individuals in recognition of: "groundbreaking contributions that have had an exceptional impact on the development of electronics and electrical engineering, or related fields".
(1831–1879)
Background edit
The medal was jointly established in 2006 by the IEEE and Royal Society of Edinburgh UK, with initial funding[citation needed] by Wolfson Microelectronics Ltd. Following the acquisition[2] of Wolfson Electronics by Cirrus Logic Inc., in 2014, the medal is now supported by Cirrus Logic.[3] Recipients receive an honorarium, a gold medal, a bronze replica and a certificate. The award is given to one or two individuals. Award recommendations are established by a committee for the award, and typically are approved by the IEEE Board of Directors in November of each year.[4]
