Enrico Fermi Award

HONOR

"The Enrico Fermi Award is given to encourage excellence in energy science and technology; to show appreciation to scientists, engineers, and science policymakers who have given unstintingly over their lifetimes to benefit mankind through energy science and technology; and to inspire people of all ages through the example of Enrico Fermi, whose achievements opened new scientific and technological realms, and the Fermi Award laureates, who continued in his tradition. The Fermi Award is administered by Department of Energy’s Office of Science. A Fermi Award winner receives a citation signed by the President of the United States and the Secretary of Energy, a gold medal bearing the likeness of Enrico Fermi, and a $375,000 honorarium. In the event the Award is given to more than one individual in the same year, the recipients share the honorarium."
