Awards

IFST's prizes and awards programme is designed to recognise and celebrate the outstanding work/achievement of a group or individual throughout the food science community. 

Impact Award

We do many great things as an Institute but many of them wouldn't be possible without our volunteers. The Impact Award was introduced in 2017 to showcase activities/innovations organised by our Regional Branches and Subject Interest Groups and highlight where they had made an impact in IFST’s strategic priorities.
