Fellowship-prijs

In 2022 eerde het Uitvoerend Comité van EACH: International Association for Communication in Healthcare in samenwerking met het EACH Advisory Committee (AC) 6 leden die een substantiële bijdrage hebben geleverd aan de missie van EACH met een Fellowship in EACH. IEDEREEN zou dit in 2024 graag opnieuw willen doen.

De missie van EACH is om een academische en praktische professionele gemeenschap te bieden aan degenen die betrokken zijn bij het onderzoeken en verbeteren van de communicatie in de gezondheidszorg. De Gemeenschap is een eretitel die tweejaarlijks wordt toegekend tijdens ELKE georganiseerde ICCH-bijeenkomst.

Je kunt de criteria om in aanmerking te komen om Fellow te worden bekijken op de website (https://each.international/fellowship/).

De Fellowshipcommissie zal toezicht houden op het selectieproces. De commissieleden hebben de taak om definitieve aanbevelingen te doen aan de Executive over in aanmerking komende kandidaten.

Er zal een Fellowship-ceremonie plaatsvinden op ICCH 2024 in Zaragoza, georganiseerd door EACH. Tijdens de ceremonie zullen we de EACH Fellows en hun bijdragen aan het bevorderen van de missie van EACH over de hele wereld publiekelijk eren.

Sustainability

EACH recommend accessing the link below, hosted by the World Wildlife Fund, to learn about the different impacts of their activities on the climate, ways of reducing that impact, and carbon-offsetting schemes that delegates can use.

This information is suitable for all delegates of ICCH 2024, whether attending in-person or online, and irrespective of the means of travel to ICCH 2023 for delegates attending in person.

3-Point plan from Gold Standard:

1. 1. Measure your climate impact
      Using the World Wildlife Fund carbon footprint calculator.
   2. Reduce your impact
      The website lists practical tips in the categories of Home, Travel, Shopping, Food, Energy etc.
   3. Offset
      If carbon offsetting is going to be used, they recommend using a ‘Gold Standard’ certified offsetting project.

They list a range of projects and you can buy a unit of offsetting (one tonne) from $10 USD depending on the project.
