Award History

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]
