The Hugh Owen Medal is a national research excellence medal[1] awarded annually by the Learned Society of Wales, the national academy of Wales. It is named in honour of Sir Hugh Owen (1804-1881), a pioneer of higher education in Wales, and the main founder of what is now Aberystwyth University.
The medal is awarded in recognition of significant contributions to educational research, or the application of research to produce significant innovations in education policy and/or professional educational practice in Wales. It is one of the four prestige medals awarded by the Learned Society of Wales.[2]
The award is supported by the Welsh Government[3] and Senedd Cymru (Welsh Parliament),[4] and fulfils the Society’s strategic objective of recognising and celebrating international excellence in scholarly disciplines connected to Wales.[5] As of 2024, researchers from Cardiff University have been awarded four of the seven medals to date. 2024 also marked the first time that the medal was awarded to a researcher from a post-1992 university.
