Call for Nominations

In 2025, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Design Society. This milestone allows us to reflect on how engineering design has evolved and to look ahead at the opportunities that lie ahead for the society and the wider community.

In recognition of the contributions of our members, we’re launching three new awards to recognize excellence across career stages, from emerging researchers to those with a long track record of significant contributions.

Nomination Guidelines:
  • Eligibility: Only Design Society members are eligible to nominate candidates. Nominees must have been members for at least four consecutive years and be a current member.
  • Multiple Awards: Multiple awards may be granted in the same category each year; however, an individual cannot receive more than one per cycle.
  • Self-nominations: Not permitted. Independence between nominators and nominees is encouraged to ensure a diverse range of recognized contributions.
