Our Institute awards are growing in recognition as the reach and influence of those studying and working in the discipline increases. The awards recognise the skills, knowledge and experience of both teams and individuals, who are either just starting out in their careers or are more well established.

There are no entry fees. The awards are based on self-nominations or on nominations from tutors, organisations and peers, recognising excellence in advancing the discipline in both research and practice.

For all awards you have until 31st October to enter a nomination. The winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony at the CIEHF’s Ergonomics & Human Factors conference in April.
