Before deciding to submit an application, we recommend that you spend some time discussing the application criteria and required evidence with your team. If you have any questions, please reach out to us prior to submitting your application.

Please note that applications for this award must be submitted by a collaboration including higher education institutions which offer medical, dental, or veterinary programmes that are accredited according to the standards of its national agency. To be recognised as achieving excellence in International Collaboration, there must be evidence that includes the purposeful action of working with others for mutual benefit that extends beyond the organizations themselves and involves a sharing of responsibilities and power.

The collaboration must have been active for a substantial period (defined as three years or more) to be eligible for this award. This is an eligibility criterion that must be met. If there are unusual circumstances that are outside this definition of eligibility, please seek clarification from the panel chair.
