“We are just entering what may be called ‘the field of vibrations,’ a field in which we may find more wonders than the mind can conceive of.” 

Guglielmo Marconi

When Guglielmo Marconi successfully sent a radio signal in 1895 near his home at Villa Griffone outside of Bologna, who could know that he would lay the foundation for a completely different world?

The Marconi Society is proud to honor the emerging and established innovators that continue to personify Marconi’s technical excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and commitment to humanity.

The Marconi Prize honors scientists and engineers whose work has improved the lives of millions around the world by bringing the opportunities of connectivity to them.  Sometimes called the “Nobel Prize of Communications,” the Marconi Prize honors significant technical, practical, entrepreneurial and humanitarian achievements.

The Paul Baran Young Scholar Awards recognize the world’s leading young researchers who showcase the talent and mindset to be the next Guglielmo Marconi.  The Young Scholar Award can make careers and provides inspiration and support for emerging innovators.

The Marconi Society’s awards are by nomination only.  Please consider your colleagues, students, professors, mentors and others who are creating our connected world and share this opportunity widely with others.

Nominations are open through May 15, 2023.  Please email us at info@marconisociety.org with any questions.
