Congress

Be the voice. Make a difference.

Congress is the new member advisory body of the Institution comprising up to 40 volunteer members elected by their peers. It acts as a sounding board and advises the Board of Trustees on matters of interest to IChemE and its members. To make it easy for the volunteers to engage, it holds most of its sessions online. Further detail is provided in the Institution’s handbook Your Congress. Find out more on the role of Congress and what they have achieved so far.

Nominations for Congress are now open. The closing date is 25 February 2020 at 09:30 GMT.

Visit the Congress elections section for more information on how to nominate.
