Award highlights
- The lectures recognise the contributions of the late Dr A L G Rees FAA to science, industry and education.
In 1990 Council agreed on the proposal of Sir Alan Walsh FAA to initiate a series of lectures by distinguished researchers in chemical physics, to recognise the contributions of the late Dr A L G Rees FAA to science, industry and education.
Nominations are not sought for this award. The Lloyd Rees Lectures Awards Committee recommends the Lecturers to the Council of the Academy.
