On 19 July, IPEN was awarded a runner-up prize at the Engaged for Impact awards, in the category of Building Partnerships and Networks. The Engaged for Impact awards, hosted by the University of Leeds, were founded to celebrate the research impact journey: the work, ideas, and challenges that go into it.
The prize we received acknowledges IPEN’s achievements in collaboration, achieving shared objectives, and working across institutional boundaries. These achievements reflect the founding principles of IPEN. Today, our network encompasses over 250 members in 30 different countries. The value of this network has been demonstrated through numerous workshops and conferences, collaborative projects, and successful funding bids.
We offer our congratulations to the first-place winners of the award (Building networks with supermarkets to assess healthy and sustainable consumer diets). We also congratulate everyone in the IPEN network, without whom our runner-up prize, and the work that it celebrates, would not have been possible.
