Description

The Miroslaw Romanowski Medal was established in 1994, at the generous bequest of the estate of internationally renowned metrologist Miroslaw Romanowski.

The medal is awarded for significant contributions to the resolution of scientific aspects of environmental problems or for important improvements to the quality of an ecosystem in all aspects - terrestrial, atmospheric and aqueous - brought about by scientific means. The bronze medal and a cash amount of $3,000 are awarded every year if there is a suitable candidate. An annual lecture series for the award recipient is also associated to the medal.

The selection committee consists of six Fellows: one from the Academy of the Arts and Humanities, one from the Academy of Social Sciences and one from each division of the Academy of Sciences. Each committee member shall serve for three years and the senior representative from the Academy of Sciences, by rotation, shall act as Chair.
