SIR ALCON COPISAROW MEDAL

This award, which takes the form of a hallmarked sterling silver medal, is named in honour of Sir Alcon Copisarow, patron of the IESF British Section for 21 years between 1992 and 2013.

In the course of a long and distinguished career spanning public and private sectors, including 6 years based in Paris when Scientific Counsellor at the British Embassy, Sir Alcon did much to foster and promote international cooperation, in particular to encourage innovation and collaborative enterprise to translate scientific and engineering achievements into the means of benefitting future generations.

The medal recognises and celebrates individuals making a significant contribution to the furtherance of these aims.

Nominations are called by the IESF (British Section) every five years and the winner presented with the medal at an IESF Dinner.
