Summary

The John Madsen Medal is awarded for the best paper written by a current member of Engineers Australia, and published in The Australian Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

The award consists of a medal and a certificate, normally presented at an event of the Division to which the member belongs, during the year after the paper was published.

This medal replaced the Electrical Engineering Prize (1954-1975) originally known as the Electrical Association Premium (1927-1954), as it was funded by a donation made by the Electrical Association of Australia, one of the Foundation Societies of the Institution. The award originally consisted of a certificate and a cash premium.

The medal perpetuates the memory of Sir John Madsen who was Foundation Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Sydney from 1920 to 1949.
