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 Industry). Mond was born in Kassel, Germany in 1839, and became a noted chemist and industrialist who eventually took British nationality.
