Lorentz Medal is a distinction awarded every four years by theRoyal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. It was established in 1925 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the doctorate ofHendrik Lorentz. The medal is given for important contributions totheoretical physics, though in the past there have been some experimentalists among its recipients.
The first winner, Max Planck, was personally selected by Lorentz.[1] Eleven of the 23 award winners later received aNobel Prize. The Lorentz medal is ranked fifth in a list of most prestigious international academic awards in physics.[2]
