Entries Open for Institution of Chemical Engineers' 30th Global Awards

Entries are now open for the Institution of Chemical Engineers’ (IChemE) Global Awards. The awards are free to enter and open to both IChemE members and non-members around the world.

Covering the entire chemical and process industries, 2024 marks the Global Awards’ 30th year of celebrating outstanding professional achievement. Championing talent and innovation by people, projects and organisations across all sectors, the Global Awards receives a diverse array of entries, with small teams and multinational organisations both well-represented among the 2023 finalists and winners.

Entries are evaluated by a judging panel of senior IChemE members and industry experts, with societal benefit, sustainability, and environmental impact, coupled to engineering and professional excellence, rated highly in the judging criteria.

“I’m honoured and excited to be heading up the judging panel for the Global Awards," said new Judging Panel Chair, IChemE Fellow Dr. Jamie Cleaver. "It’s a unique privilege to be part of the team recognising and promoting chemical engineering excellence. The entry process is straightforward, and selection as a finalist really puts your successes under the spotlight, so I’d encourage everyone to help us applaud the innovative work of our incredibly talented profession.”

“I was very encouraged by how many of 2023’s finalists were helping to make IChemE’s vision — engineering a sustainable world — a reality, with entries such as accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen, reinventing the way plastics are used and recycled, and developing energy-efficient ship hull coatings," said IChemE president Nigel Hirst.

2024 categories

The best entry across all categories will receive the coveted top prize of the programme, the Outstanding Achievement in Chemical and Process Engineering Award. 

The deadline to enter the IChemE Global Awards is July 5, 2024. Winners will be announced at the IChemE Global Awards Dinner on November 28 at the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel, UK.
