IOB Impact Award
Who has really made a difference? Which alumnus/a
has been able to translate what he/she learned at
IOB into a genuine added value in ‘development’. This
is the question that drives the IOB Antwerp alumni
seminar. Alumni can apply online to present the work
they have been doing and what changes this work
has brought about in society or in the lives of others.
The review committee selects one alumnus/a whose
work has really created ‘an impact on development’ to
come to Antwerp to present his/her work in person to
IOB staff and students. This student will receive the
IOB Impact Award. Other projects that are positively
evaluated by the committee (i.e. have had a sizeable
development impact) but that were not selected are
presented as a poster during the poster reception. In
previous editions, some of these submissions have
also been selected for the UAntwerpen Christmas
‘good cause’ funding.
