The Atlantic Senior Fellow Awards
During the Senior Fellows Global Convening at Rhodes House, the Atlantic Institute held a special ceremony to recognize projects that are emblematic of the Atlantic Fellows’ mission to create fairer, healthier and more inclusive societies. Two projects submitted by teams of Senior Fellows were chosen by a selection panel of Senior Fellows and program staff to receive awards of £50,000 each. THE FINALISTS The East Mediterranean Brain Health Initiative (EMBHI) A joint project between three Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health: Hany Ibrahim of Egypt, Elaine Howard of Ireland, and Stelios Zygouris of Greece. Designed primarily to help people with dementia in underserved populations, the project promotes information and expertise sharing among participating countries. Starting with Greece and Egypt, the aim is to create a vibrant community of expertise in the East Mediterranean that will work collaboratively to implement better brain health services. The Development of a Health Impact Assessment Framework for the Philippines A joint initiative involving two Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity in Southeast Asia: Somporn Pengkam of Thailand and Beverly Lorraine Ho of the Philippines. Their innovative way of engaging deeply with local communities in the Philippines leads to a better understanding of, as well as a means of addressing, the health impacts of large-scale industrial projects. The project has the potential to be rolled out elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
