The Bicentenary Medal was created in 1954 to commemorate the founding of the Society. It was originally awarded to a person who, while not an industrial designer, had exerted an exceptional influence in promoting art and design in British industry. The medal is still awarded annually to a non-designer who has had a strong influence in their field on the way design is used and appreciated, and who does, or is likely to, contribute to a major part of  the RSA’s work.

On 16^th November the Appropriate Development Panel (ADP) is holding evening event on Rural Transport Research in South East Asia. Presentations will describe outcomes of recent rural transport research in South East Asia, supported by DFID, World Bank and Asian Development Bank. Please see attached flyer for further details.
