 The  Prize was founded in  1974  to remember the  centenary of
Guglielmo Marconi's birth (April  25,  1874).  The  aim  is to
stress Marconi's contribution  to scientific research  and  to
technical development and his  committment  in  addressing his
inventions  to  all   mankind  rather   than  exploiting  them
commercially.   The  Prize  is  therefore  intended   to  give
aknowledgment  to   persons  inspired  by   the  same  ideals,
favouring their studies.

 The Prize is also intended to promote and  finance works bound
to  enhance the knowledge  of  how  communication  science and
techniques can be  put to  the service of  human  good.  It is
therefore granted in  aknowledgment  of  outstanding  works is
this field,  but it  is  clearly stated  that  its  aim  is to
promote a scientific research work, that the grantee can carry
on personally  or can  assign to persons appointed  by him.
The
Prize is granted every year until the end of the 20th century.
The grantees will receive the sum of $  100,000  and a copy of
the symbol  of the  Prize,  work of sculptor Otello Guarducci.
The New York Polytechnic runs  the Prize,  in order to promote
high level research works.  A Council headed  by Gioia Marconi
Braga, Marconi's daughter, manages the Prize and cares to meet
all  high Marconi's ideals.  Each year the Council  appoints a
Consulting  Committee,  which  has  the  task  to  select  the
applications.

 The Marconi International  Fellowship  Fund has
been   created   with   contributions   of   Authorities   and
Organizations of all the world,  particularly Firms working in
the  field  of  communications  (the   Federation  shares  the
expenses,  having  been  Marconi a Work  Cavalier,  an italian
award).  Such Authorities organize  also  the  ceremony during
which the Prize is granted. The Marconi Fellowship is sided by
the  "Young  Scientist"  Prize:  as  known  Guglielmo  Marconi
developed very early the intuitions  of  the discoveries which
would have  upset  the  world  of  telecommunications, leading
those  first experiments that  amazed  mankind.  For that very
reason Prize is granted to a young scientist  which can submit
evidence to possess the premises to reach important scientific
results.  The choice of the grantee is entrusted  each year to
an  important  scientific  organization.  The  young scientist
receives a check of $ 10,000 and a locket engraved by sculptor
Andrea Spadini.
