The Mannheimer Lecture is usually a lecture of great breadth on an important scientific or historical topic in the field.
The Mannheimer lecturer will receive the traditional horseshoe - a Scandinavian emblem of luck and prosperity - as recognition. The first plaque with the horseshoe was given out during the AEPC 1966 Helsinki meeting by Professor Bernhard Landtman to Dr Richard Bonham (Great Ormond Street Hospital, London).
