Greene Medal

The Greene Medal is awarded to a member volunteer* who has made a most meritorious long-term contribution to the progress of IChemE.

Arnold Greene was a founder member of the Institution who served as president and honorary treasurer. Prior to 1964, the medal was known as the Osborne Reynolds Medal.

Any member or member of staff can make a nomination for this medal. Nominations will be considered annually by IChemE’s Medals and Prizes Committee, who will confirm the winner.

Criteria this medal will be judged against are:

  1. impact of the contribution
  2. period of time over which contribution was made.

*In an exceptional case, the medal can be awarded to a team.
