Prince Philip Medal


The Prince Philip Medal is named after Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who is the Senior Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE). In 1989 Prince Philip agreed to the commissioning of solid gold medals to be "awarded periodically to an engineer of any nationality who has made an exceptional contribution to engineering as a whole through practice, management or education." The first of these medals was awarded in 1991 to Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle.

Another medal also known as the Prince Philip medal is the City and Guilds Institute of London Gold Medal, awarded by the City & Guilds. This was awarded to Jocelyn Burton, the first woman recipient, in 2003 for outstanding achievements in the fields of science and engineering.

Previous recipients of the RAE medal have included:
