About the Award

 

The IHS Alumni Impact Award is a biennial initiative of the IHS Alumni Board (the representative body of the IHS Alumni International Community), organized in partnership with IHS.

 

The Award, founded in 2012, aims to showcase and support worldwide initiatives and projects of IHS alumni that impact the local community. It is a celebration of city changers and inspiring urban initiatives.

​

The current edition of the award will conclude in November, in Cairo, Egypt, during the twelfth edition of the World Urban Forum.
