Named after Michael Faraday, the first Faraday Lecture was given in 1869, two years after Faraday's death, by Jean-Baptiste Dumas. [2] As of 2009, the prize was worth £5000, with the recipient also receiving a medal and a certificate. [1] As the name suggests, the recipient also gives a public lecture describing his or her work.
The winner is required to present a lecture as part of the Society's annual programme of public events, which is usually held in January of the following year; during the lecture, the President of the Royal Society awards the medal. [2] Unlike other prizes awarded by the society, the committee has not always publicly provided a rationale.
