About the Peter Howgate Award
Welcome to the annual "Peter Howgate Award", a travel grant presented each year to a young fish technologist who has shown a promising start to his or her career.
The Award is a tribute to Peter Howgate's work and career, and a recognition of his immense and ongoing contribution to the field of fish technology and the people who work in it. The Award is set up by fish technology professionals around the world, with the help of the Seafood HACCP Discussion List community.
How to apply for the Peter Howgate Award
The award is open to anyone presently employed in any relevant position involving fish technology from any country. Relevant positions include commercial fishery sector, research or inspection roles. To be eligible for the prize, applicants must be under 30 years of age. Since funds are limited, preference will be given to applicants who have also obtained other sources of funding, to which the Award will add value (for example by extending travel to take in new or additional study visits).
