The Kennedy-Wunsch flagship lecture recognises the role that Miles Kennedy and Donald Sandys Wunsch have played in chemical engineering in New Zealand. The inaugural lecture was presented in September 2010, where Miles Kennedy summarised his and Wunsch’s contribution to the chemical and process industries in New Zealand.

Wunsch was a founding member of IChemE, a recognised figure in the lactose industry, and encouraged the founding of a chemical engineering department at Canterbury University in New Zealand. Kennedy is a pioneer of chemical engineering, particularly in education in New Zealand. With a career spanning over five decades he made has made key contributions not only to chemical engineering, but also to the broader engineering profession, university system, and the wider community of New Zealand.
