Maurice Holland Award

The Maurice Holland Award is presented each year by the Industrial Research Institute (IRI) to honor the most outstanding paper published in the previous year’s volume of IRI’s journal, Research-Technology Management (RTM). Named for IRI’s founder, the Holland Award is a bronze replica of a “Jenny”, the model of airplane Maurice Holland flew during his service in World War I. The award was first presented in 1982 by Maurice Holland's son.

The Holland Award is presented to the winning paper’s authors at IRI’s Member Summit, held each year in the fall. The recipient is determined by RTM's Board of Editors, who select the winning paper “according to the criteria of significance to the field of R&D, technology, and innovation management; originality of new management concepts; and excellence in clarity of presentation.” IRI has collated the winning articles into a reprint collection titled “Winning Concepts & Practices for Managing Industrial R&D.”
