Frumkin Memorial Medal

In order to honour the late Professor Alexander N. Frumkin and his many contributions to science, particularly to the field of fundamental electrochemistry, the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) has established the "Frumkin Memorial Medal". The award was donated by Professor E.G. Perevalova-Frumkin, the Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Department of Electrochemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry, Moscow State University.

The award, to be given once every two years, recognises the outstanding contribution of a living individual over his/her life in the field of fundamental electrochemistry.

The award consists of a medal, a certificate, and assistance for travel so as to enable the winner to attend the annual ISE Meeting where the award is presented.

Candidates for the award can be proposed by institutes, university departments, and ISE members. Nominations are solicited by ISE in its publications and web site. The nomination should consist of no more than 1000 words giving details of the relevant contribution of the individual. Nominations should be uploaded via the Submission Site and should be accompanied by at least two letters supporting the nomination. All documents uploaded must be in PDF format.

The winner is expected to give a plenary lecture at the ISE Annual Meeting at which the award is presented. ISE will pay for his/her registration and banquet fees.

The Award Selection Committee consists of five persons: One member nominated by the Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, one member nominated by the Department of Electrochemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University, and three members nominated by the Executive Committee of ISE. The Selection Committee members elect the chairperson.

The Executive Committee of ISE can approve or reject the recommendation of the Award Selection Committee. In the latter case, the Selection Committee will be dissolved, and a new Selection Committee appointed for the award to be given in the following year.
