In 1979 George Marx, a Hungarian researcher in the field of physics education, proposed to institute a medal to recognise “outstanding contributions to physics teaching of a kind that transcends national boundaries”.
The IUPAP Commission C14 succeeded in establishing the award of an ICPE Medal with criteria:
- The contributions to physics education should have extended over a considerable number of years;
- The contributions should be international in scope and influence.
Information can be found on the web page of the International Commission on Physics Education (ICPE) – Commission C14 of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics.
Submissions must be sent by 30th of March 2025. The IUPAP Commission C14 will select the awardee. The Medal will be awarded at a relevant Conference with the awardee presenting.
