Recognising new and emerging talent is hugely important. The IChemE Young Engineers Awards for Innovation and Sustainability (YEAIS) celebrates the ideas and innovation emerging in the chemical engineering profession, as well as those innovative ideas being shared by young people who could become our future chemical engineers, supporting IChemE’s vision of engineering a more sustainable world.

Finalists will be invited to showcase their work at one of a number of regional/virtual networking events including: an in-person event in London UK, an in-person event in Trinidad and Tobago, or one of three virtual events being hosted in Australia, Malaysia or the UK.
