Seligman Lecture

Award History

The Seligman Lecture was established in 1974 in honour of Richard Seligman who was the founder of APV Group and a distinguished early member of SCI. He joined the Society in 1904, and belonged to the Chemical Engineering, Corrosion, Food and Microbiology groups.

Nominations

Nominations for the Seligman Lecture can be made by any SCI Member or Committee officer. The recipient will be selected by the SCI Food Group.

Lecture Details

The Lecture is always given on a topic related in some way to food engineering. Other criteria laid down include a stipulation that it must be advertised and open to the public because, like so many aspects of SCI's activities, communicating a positive message of the benefits of applied science is a central concern.

The Lecture must not have been previously published and a copy of it should be provided to SCI for it to be included in a Society publication, either printed or electronic.
