fib Fellows
The fib presents awards to recognize contributions to the association, to the field of structural concrete in general, structures which demonstrate concrete’s versatility, and to recognize young engineers. The fib considers that it is important to recognise fib members that have been active for many years and that have contributed to the goals of the fib.
The fib fellows are elected on the basis of the following criteria:
- They are current fib members and have been for the last 10 years
- They have embraced the values of the federation,
- They have provided continuous outstanding contributions to the development of concrete and concrete structures or to the development of the fib through the participation in Task Groups and Commissions or other means.
The contributions for concrete structures can be in the areas of education, research, design and construction.
The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib)
The fib, Fédération internationale du béton, is a not-for-profit association formed by 42 national member groups and approximately 2'500 corporate and individual members in more than 100 countries. The fib’s mission is to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic and environmental performance of concrete construction.
