The Rumford Medal (1800)
This medal is awarded biennially (in even years) in recognition of an outstandingly important recent discovery in the field of thermal or optical properties of matter made by a scientist working in Europe, noting that Rumford was concerned to see recognised discoveries that tended to promote the good of mankind. The medal is of silver gilt and a gift of £1000 is associated with it.
