IEEE Medal of Honor
The IEEE Medal of Honor is the highest recognition of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It has been awarded since 1917, and is presented to "an individual or team of up to three who have made exceptional contributions or had extraordinary careers in technology, engineering, and science in the IEEE fields of interest." The award consists of a gold medal, a bronze replica (of the medal), a certificate, and a US$2 million honorarium (increased from US$50,000 in 2025).
