  4. After your campaign is complete: Submit a report, which should include what you did, an estimate of how many people you reached, and what were some of the major results. More information about how to submit a report will be sent to your Ambassador. Submit the detailed report to info@iuis.org.

Campaign Preparation

These campaigns are basically meant to raise awareness regarding the theme of each year.

  • The target society of your campaign can include academics, researchers, the public, politicians, and decision-makers. The more people the campaign reaches out to, the better!
  • The media you use can be posters, videos, social media, emails, etc. Societies can record interviews, give lectures, organize discussions, events, and trainings, and reach out to the public via hospitals, schools, etc. Having creative, diverse expressions is a plus.

Applications are reviewed based on the campaign’s originality, clarity, creativity, and impact at a national or regional level.
