The David Crighton Medal was established by the Councils of the LMS and IMA in 2002 in order to pay tribute to the memory of Professor David George Crighton FRS. The silver gilt medal will be awarded to an eminent mathematician for services both

The award is considered biennially by the Councils of the IMA and LMS. The medal winner will normally be presented with the award at a joint meeting of the IMA and the LMS, and will be invited to give a lecture.

David Abrahams (2017), Professor Frank Kelly CBE FRS, (2015), Professor Arieh Iserles and Dr Peter Neumann OBE (2012), Professor Keith Moffatt FRS, (2009), Professor Sir Christopher Zeeman FRS, (2006) and Professor Sir John Ball FRS, (2003).
