JMT catalysis medal: Mid Career Call Open!
The UK Catalysis Hub has launched the call for the JMT Medal 2025. The medal honours the achievements of Sir John Meurig Thomas, a distinguished professor in the field of catalysis who sadly passed away in 2020. He was a remarkable man and one of the most eminent figures in catalytic science in the past 100 years, who was a pioneer in many of the techniques and concepts that have now become standard in the field. He was generous with his time and support for the UK Catalysis Hub and its events and the Hub is proud to have established 2016 an annual award in honour of his achievements.
The JMT Medal is awarded to a person of outstanding achievement in catalysis or a closely related field every year.
In addition, the winner of the medal will also be invited to deliver a lecture on catalysts as part of the UK Catalysis Conference (UKCC 2026).
The medal can be awarded to any scientist working in the UK in one or more fields of catalytic science and engineering.
The medal will alternate between Scientists in the Early and Mid-career stage. The selection committee will consider the following aspects of all nominations as appropriate:
- Collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of their research
- Originality and Impact of research
- Quality of publications and/or patents
- Innovation
The deadline for nominations is 30 September 2025 and the 2025 JMT Medal will be awarded to a *Mid Career researcher in Catalysis.
More information about the JMT and how to nominate can be found on the JMT Medal 2025 page.
