Overview

Our highest grade of membership is open to Chartered Chemical Engineers who have made a significant contribution to chemical, biochemical and process engineering. Becoming a Fellow demonstrates your experience, technical excellence, leadership skills and commitment to the profession.

If Fellowship may be your next career goal, why not find out more?

Are you asking yourself...

• I have just gained Chartered member status, what do I need to consider to become a Fellow?
• What are the benefits of Fellowship?
• What's involved in the process of Fellowship and how I can prepare to apply?

If so, all these questions and more will be addressed and answered for you at this event. A member of the IChemE will provide the guidelines of the fellowship process and IChemE fellows will also share their experiences and reasons as to why they achieved fellowship status.

Between the period of 2015-2019 we have seen that 8% of IChemE Fellow's are female. We encourage all members, but especially our female Chartered members to join this event!
