The Ludwig Mond Award is run annually by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The award is presented for outstanding research in any aspect of inorganic chemistry. The winner receives a monetary prize of £2000, in addition to a medal and a certificate, and completes a UK lecture tour.[1] The winner is chosen by the Dalton Division Awards Committee.
In 2020 the Ludwig Mond Award was merged with the Nyholm Prize for Inorganic Chemistry to form the Mond-Nyholm Prize for Inorganic Chemistry.[2]
The award was established in 1981 to commemorate the life and work of the chemist Dr Ludwig Mond and followed an endowment from ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries).[1] Mond was born in Kassel, Germany in 1839, and became a noted chemist and industrialist who eventually took British nationality.[3]
