An Honorary Fellowship is a significant lifetime award granted by the Society to exceptional members of our community. Commissioned in 2012, and with up to two awards each year, the Board of Directors is pleased to recognise the following outstanding scientists.
- Honorary Fellow Nominations are typically open from January – February. Nominations for 2023 have closed.
- Nominees will be required to meet one of the following criteria: (1) recognised as making outstanding contributions to the Metabolomics Society over a sustained period of time; (2) recognised as making a pioneering and sustained contribution to the science of metabolomics at an international level, within the fields of technology development, computational biology or application to a specific discipline.
- Nominations received after the deadline will not be considered for appointment for that year, but may be held over for the following year.
