IEEE/RSE Wolfson James Clerk Maxwell Award
In a joint mission in 2006 with the IEEE and Royal Society of Edinburgh, Wolfson provided 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.
