International Academy Awards 2020
The Design & Health International Academy Awards has a significant influence on the design and development of salutogenic environments that support health, wellbeing and quality of life around the world. This year, the programme comprises eleven categories across the key areas of international health delivery, and the prestigious Lifetime Leadership Award.
Recipients of the awards are teams and individuals who through outstanding efforts, have contributed to the progress of knowledge and demonstrated vision and leadership in exemplary initiatives within the field.
The judging panel consisted of a group of independent experts from around the world. Experts in their field, the judges come from multidisciplinary backgrounds in research and practice. The winners of each award were determined by a lead judge, who was supported by a panel of two judges with proven expertise in their field. The award recommendations are then approved by a second jury of advisors from the International Academy for Design & Health, chaired by Gunther De Graeve.
