The Chalmers Medal was instituted in 1948 on the 200th anniversary of the birth of William Chalmers. The medal honours individuals who through their interest and valuable contributions, have promoted the work and development of Chalmers. The medallists are nominated by the Chalmers Board on the recommendation of the President. The medal is awarded at the annual conferment of doctoral degrees.
