Honorary fellows
The highest honour we can bestow.
Our Honorary Fellows come from a wide range of backgrounds, career paths and countries and are nominated by our members.
They include individuals whose distinguished research careers have made an extraordinary impact on scientific advancement, leaders of companies, or other major enterprises that have been of significant benefit to the application of chemical science. Some of our Honorary Fellows have contributed to the benefit and welfare of the chemical sciences through public service, outreach, policy development, and change, and through connecting or leading the chemical science community to provide solutions for societal challenges.
You can see all 120 current Honorary Fellows below.
Any Å·ÃÀAV member can submit a nomination for an Honorary Fellow of the Å·ÃÀAV at any time. To be reviewed by the Nominations Committee in October, nominations must be received by mid-September. Successful recommendations are then presented to the Board of Trustees in November.
To submit a nomination, please download the nomination form, along with our guidance and criteria.
