Award Details
The RSC administers over 20 prestigious awards in recognition of outstanding achievement.
The Henry Marshall Tory Medal is for outstanding research in any branch of astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, physics, or an allied science.
Awarded: Biennially
The Henry Marshall Tory Medal was established in 1941 by Henry Marshall Tory (1864-1947), FRSC. Founder of the Universities of British Columbia and Alberta, the National Research Council Laboratories and Carleton University, and President of the RSC (1939-1940), he bequeathed funds upon his death in 1947 to endow the medal.
The medal is awarded for outstanding research in a branch of astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, physics, or an allied science, carried out mainly in the eight years preceding the date of the award, but all the research of the candidate is taken into account. The gold plated silver medal is offered every two years if there is a suitable candidate.
Note that after the March 2025 competition closes, RSC will be moving the deadline for its Medals and Awards to December to align with the membership nomination deadline.
