Bakerian Lecture
Die Bakerian Lecture ist ein Preis und eine damit verbundene Vorlesung der Royal Society in Physik, Chemie, Astronomie, Geowissenschaften oder Mathematik (Physical Sciences). Sie ist mit 1000 Pfund dotiert und mit einer Medaille verbunden.
Die Vorlesung und der Preis wurde 1775 von Henry Baker gestiftet. Er spendete 100 Pfund für eine Vorlesung eines ihrer Mitglieder über einen von der Royal Society vorgeschlagenen Bereich der Naturgeschichte oder experimentellen Wissenschaft.[1]
Heute wird der Preisträger vom Rat der Royal Society gewählt. Er muss aus dem Commonwealth oder Irland kommen oder dort mindestens drei Jahre gearbeitet haben. Die Preisträger können erst nach fünf Jahren wieder nominiert werden.
Die Vorlesung wird in den Proceedings der Royal Society (oder deren Philosophical Transactions) veröffentlicht.
