FEIT Excellence Awards

Recognising exemplary staff demonstrations of excellence in our Faculty and the communities we serve.

The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) Awards recognise and celebrate the contributions of academic and professional staff across all levels of our diverse Faculty.

The awards acknowledge individual and team achievements, and contributions that demonstrates the Faculty’s core values and enable our strategy, FEIT 2025.

The scheme provides a mechanism for applicants to build competitive cases for wider University awards, including the University of Melbourne Excellence Awards, and external award schemes. Subject to eligibility, award winners are expected to nominate for at least one other award in the year following their successful FEIT Excellence Award nomination.
Staff from across the Faculty are strongly encouraged to self-nominate for the scheme and join the Faculty in recognising demonstrations of staff excellence.
