SETAC Global Awards recognize contributions of individuals, or groups of individuals, who have made clearly identifiable, outstanding contributions consistent with the goals of SETAC.

The Global Awards and Fellowships Committee is at the service of the SETAC membership and the wider scientific community. Our task is to encourage the submission of potential award candidates and to evaluate contenders in accordance with standards set for each award.
