The Mullard Award is awarded annually by the Royal Society to a person who has "an outstanding academic record in any field of natural science, engineering or technology and whose contribution is currently making or has the potential to make a contribution to national prosperity in Britain."[1] It was established in 1967, and has been awarded to more people at once than any other Royal Society medal, with five individuals receiving the award in 1970.[2] The award is a silver gilt medal, which comes with a £2,000 prize and a £1,500 grant to be used for travel and attending conferences.[1][3]
