Christopher Zeeman Medal 2026 | Call for Nominations
Nomination deadline: 1 March 2026, 23:59 (BST)
Nominations are invited for the Christopher Zeeman Medal in 2026. The Zeeman Medal is the UK award dedicated to recognising excellence in the communication of mathematics. Previous winners include Brady Haran, Simon Singh, Matt Parker and Hannah Fry.
The award is made jointly by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and the London Mathematical Society. Its intention is to honour mathematicians who have excelled in promoting mathematics and engaging with the general public. They may be academics, teachers, industrial mathematicians, working in the financial sector or from any number of other fields.
Most importantly, these mathematicians will have worked exceptionally to bring mathematics to a non-specialist audience, whether it is through giving public lectures, creating online resources, writing books, appearing in media, organising events or through any other medium.
Nominations must be completed using the nomination form (see links below) and emailed to prizes@lms.ac.uk. The deadline to submit nominations is 1 March 2026 (23:59 BST).
Please send any queries to Katherine Wright, LMS Communications & Policy Manager: prizes@lms.ac.uk.
