The IChemE Global Awards are widely recognised as the world’s most prestigious chemical engineering awards. They celebrate chemical engineering excellence worldwide and cover the breadth of the chemical and process industries. Here is why you should enter:

International recognition

Our Awards recognise achievement from all over the world. Since we started in 1994, many different nations have triumphed across different categories. Entering give you/your organisation the opportunity for international recognition!

Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR)

We all know how important the chemical and process industries are to maintaining and improving quality of life, but reputations should never be taken for granted.

The Awards are one of the best independent ways to enhance your reputation and demonstrate publicly your efforts to improve safety, efficiency and many other aspects of chemical and process engineering. Not convinced? Just ask your employees, shareholders, stakeholders, customers and communities why CSR matters.

A badge of quality and excellence

Not everyone gets the opportunity to use the logo of a leading global professional body to endorse their organisation. But all finalists, highly commended and winning entries at the Awards are granted permission to use the official IChemE Global Awards logo. It is a tangible badge of quality and yours to keep and use on stationery, online and all your promotional material forever.

Your success is our business

IChemE likes nothing better than to promote good news, especially if it involves chemical engineering and chemical engineers.

The Global Awards is one of our largest events and we use our teams of journalists, marketers and PR professionals to make sure that all IChemE members, and the wider chemical and process industries, have the opportunity to read about and watch video of your success and achievements.

Judged by the profession

Senior figures in the chemical and process industries judge the awards entries. They review and score every entry, overseen by our head judge – Jamie Cleaver.

If you are a finalist or win an award, you will know your achievements have been recognised by your peers and senior figures in the profession. 

A category for everyone

We have 16 different awards categories which we feel represent the range and depth of work going on in and around the industry.

If you feel there is something missing, please do let us know by contacting awards@icheme.org. Your feedback is important to us. 

Free and easy application

We understand that time is precious, so we have made entry as easy as possible. A few contact details and a maximum of 2,000 words (you can write less if you want) is all you need to provide in our simple application form. Remember, entering the awards is free and you do not need to be an IChemE member.

Hospitality and networking

Relationships are important and there aren't too many opportunities to share quality time with your business partners, customers and colleagues. That’s why the IChemE Global Awards are one of the best opportunities to host your own table of invited guests, as well as catch up with other leading and emerging figures in the chemical and process industries attending the event, all whilst celebrating achievements across our industry.
