Food Group Awards

Our community recognising scientific excellence.

Food Group Awards

The Food Group awards two medals: the Early Career Medal (previously Junior Medal) and Established Career Medal (previously Senior Medal). The Early Career Medal is biennial and has been renamed to reflect the standing of the award and awardees and the objectives of the award.

The aim of these awards is to encourage and recognise excellence in the application of chemical sciences to food. There are many challenges for chemistry in the food industry and the Food Group aims to encourage first class scientists to enter the field of food chemistry.


Food Group Early Career Medal

The Early Career Award will be made for the most meritorious contribution to food chemistry on the basis of published papers and/or other documentary evidence over the preceding five years, with less than 10 years professional experience.


Food Group Established Career Medal

The Established Career Award will be in recognition of a substantial contribution to food chemistry over a period of at least 15 years, including work of exceptional merit which has led to advances in food chemistry of practical significance to the food industry.
