Awarded by the Colloid and Interface Science Group
The group supports and promotes colloid and interface science, which is an important area of knowledge which underpins a very wide variety of both fundamental and applied science. In recent years, to present a more coherent front for colloid science, particularly in the UK, the group works closely with its sister group in the SCI, and all meetings of either group are now co-sponsored.

About this prize
The McBain Medal is an annual award to honour an early career researcher or technologist who has made a meritorious contribution to colloid and interface science. The award is intended to recognise both achievement and evidence of future promise. It is named after James William McBain. To be eligible, the candidate should be in the UK in the earlier stages of their career, typically their first 5 years in an independent research position (excluding career breaks).
