Nominations have now closed
As the Society celebrates its 80th anniversary year, a one-off award has been created to recognise members who have made a significant contribution and helped the Society achieve this milestone anniversary.
The Trustees are looking to award a range of individuals who have actively contributed to the Society’s success. This could be someone who has acted in a local, national or international capacity in a variety of ways, such as:
- Supporting with administration, including journals or events
- Supporting conferences, abstract reviews and chairing sessions
- Acting within a regional group such as setting up an activity to support the Society on a local or regional level e.g. University Ambassadors, Section or Committee Members
- Going the extra mile on projects within their area of volunteering for the Society.
Rising Stars
In addition to those who have been long term advocates of the Society, there will also be awards for ‘Rising Stars’. The ‘Rising Star’ category will acknowledge those with a maximum of 5 years postgraduate experience. Awardees should be individuals who have excelled during the early stages of their career and have positively impacted the wider nutrition community as well as the Society.
