On receiving the medal, Dr. Tubadji said:

“I am overjoyed that of all medals possible I am honoured with the Dillwyn one!

“The Dillwyn family have shown by example that my Culture Based Development (CBD) paradigm works in practice: using art and science as a tool, they once shifted the cultural and economic gravity from London to Swansea.”

Dr Rhiannon Pugh of Lund University, Sweden, and Dr Thomas Leahy of Cardiff University were also highly commended by the Medal Committee.
