IEEE/RSE Wolfson James Clerk Maxwell Award

In a joint mission in 2006 with the IEEE and Royal Society of Edinburgh, Wolfson provided initial funding for an award, taking its name from the Scottish mathematician-physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879). This award recognizes work with "exceptional impact on the development of electronics and electrical engineering or related fields". Recipients receive $20,000 in addition to a gold medal, a bronze replica and a certificate, and is awarded up to two individuals chosen by a committee.:[1][2][3] The award is currently funded by Cirrus Logic.

Basis for Judging: In the evaluation process, the following criteria are considered: ground-breaking contributions with exceptional impact on the profession and the betterment of society, and significant technical and other achievements as evidenced by publications, patents, significant products, and other evidence.
