IChemE director of publications, Claudia Flavell-While said: “Since the introduction of new medals in recent years, the chemical engineering profession is now well represented – for both individuals and groups – across all ages and sectors.

“Each award has its own specific criteria, but overall they recognise the profession’s unsung heroes. They include promising young talent, advocates for the profession and achievements that have made an impact on important economic, environmental and societal issues.”

Flavell-While added that the medals also celebrate some of our most illustrious chemical engineering luminaries from across the globe.”By perpetuating their names and historic achievements, their legacy will continue well into the future.”

Nominations close 31 October. Self-nominations will not be considered. Visit www.icheme.org to download the nomination form, or to view the judging criteria for individual medals. For all other enquiries, contact [email protected].
