History of the Mendel Memorial Medal

Original language description

The Mendel Memorial Medal is a unique annual award given to an internationally recognized figure for his or her contribution to the scientific and cultural legacy of Gregor Mendel and genetics. Past recipients of this award have included Nobel prize winners, outstanding researchers, pioneers in genetics, molecular biology, and the history of biology and genetics, as well as other eminent scientists. Last year saw the thirtieth anniversary of the start of the regular awarding of this medal. Its origin, however, goes back much deeper and is firmly linked to the tradition of developing Mendel’s scientific legacy at the Mendelianum of the Moravian Museum in Brno. The establishment of this memorial to Gregor Mendel was the result of pre-war efforts and the full rehabilitation of Mendel’s scientific work. The history of the creation and presentation of the Mendel Memorial Medal can be divided into two basic phases. These closely reflect the wider political and social development in Czechoslovakia and subsequently in the Czech Republic.
