In 2015, the Connecticut Medal of Science, Connecticut’s highest honor for scientific achievement in fields crucial to Connecticut’s economic competitiveness and social-well-being, will be awarded.

This Medal recognizes an individual who has made extraordinary contributions to the advancement of science in Connecticut. For this competition, science spans the physical and biological disciplines as well as mathematics, engineering and the social and
behavioral sciences. Modeled after the National Medal of Science, the award is bestowed in alternate years with the Connecticut Medal of Technology.

Selection of the annual Medalist is overseen by the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering. Medal recipients will be permanently featured in a Hall of Fame at the Connecticut Science Center.
