Recognising outstanding services to the profession

The IChemE Ambassador Medal is open to nominees from both academia and industry and awarded annually to a member volunteer who has made a significant long-term contribution to IChemE and excelled as an ambassador for the Institution and the profession.

The contribution could have been made as part of the member’s engagement with a member group or special interest group, or through another group or activity linked with IChemE.

Any member or member of staff can make a nomination for this medal. Nominations will be considered by IChemE’s Medals and Prizes Committee, who will confirm the winner.
