World fellows
ICCM World Fellow
The designation of World Fellow is an award given by ICCM in recognition of the following: (i) outstanding contribution to the field of composite materials through research and/or industrial development, (ii) international recognition and contribution to the work of ICCM, and (iii) other contributions to the field, e.g., through education, contributions to other major conference series, development of standards/design codes, editorial work etc. There are no specific designated amounts of contributions that must be made with regard to each of these items. However, any person who becomes a World Fellow of ICCM must have made contributions to each area that are representative of the expectations of such a recognition. Overall, this person is to have made significant contributions to the objectives of ICCM as captured in the articulation of these three items.

- One letter of recommendation must be from a member of the ICCM Executive Council or a current World Fellow of ICCM.
