An annual award can be given by WEFTA to scientists who have contributed significantly and outstanding to the fields of seafood processing, seafood product development, seafood analytical methods, seafood safety, applied seafood science, seafood technology, seafood nutrition, aquaculture or consumer studies related to seafood.
The award consists of a certificate and a gift. Further, the award winner is entitled to visit the following WEFTA meeting without paying a fee. As an alternative to this, the award winner can choose a young scientist to be the recipient of the free attendance to the next meeting. The award will be presented at the official banquet of the annual meeting by the Chairperson of the Award Committee. The year after the award has been received the award winner is invited to give a WEFTA award lecture at the plenary WEFTA meeting.
