The Dirac Medal of the ICTP is given each year by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in honour of physicist Paul Dirac.
[1] An international committee of distinguished scientists selects the winners from a list of nominated candidates.
The Committee invites nominations from scientists working in the fields of theoretical physics or mathematics.
The Dirac Medal of the ICTP is not awarded to Nobel Laureates, Fields Medalists, or Wolf Prize winners.
[1] However, several Dirac Medallists have subsequently won one of these awards.
