Design & Health International Academy Awards
The Design & Health International Academy Awards is the world's leading advocacy programme, recognising professional excellence in the research and practice of designing healthy environments.
The annual awards programme has a significant influence on the global design of humanistic environments that support health, wellbeing and quality of life, reflecting important aspects of the exceptional work undertaken by researchers and practitioners at the forefront of the field of design and health.
The awards are open to international organisations in both the private and public sectors participating in either research or practice, including the planning, procurement, design, construction and management of healthy environments.
The judging panel is constructed from a group of independent experts from Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas. Experts in their field, the judges come from multi-disciplinary backgrounds in research and practice, bringing with them a breadth of experience in their field.
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.
