The Lawrence Bragg Medal and Prize is awarded by the Institute of Physics to acknowledge individuals involved in physics outreach that demonstrate "outstanding and sustained contributions to physics education".[1] It was established in 1965 and named in honour of Sir Lawrence Bragg, and was first awarded in 1967.[2][3]

It was originally a bronze medal, with a prize of £150, and awarded in odd-numbered years.[4] In 1988, it was started to be awarded annually. Since 2016, the prize medal has been upgraded to gold. It is accompanied by a prize of £1000 and a certificate. It has been described by University of Exeter as a "prestigious Physics award".[5]

Not to be confused with the Australian Institute of Physics Bragg Gold Medal for Excellence in Physics[6] or International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) W. H. & W. L. Bragg Prize[7][8].
