The official shortlist for the European Healthcare Design Awards 2024 has been revealed, following a hard-fought competition and intensive judging process.
Supported by lead sponsor IHP, the awards, which celebrate and recognise professional excellence in the design of healthcare environments both in Europe and around the world, caught the interest of architects, healthcare leaders, academic researchers and innovative solutions providers from all over the globe. The extremely high standard of entries received meant the judges had an unenviable task in whittling them down to a final shortlist.
We’re also excited to announce live webinar presentations and judging of the shortlisted categories on SALUS TV, ahead of the announcement of the winners at the closing ceremony of the European Healthcare Design 2024 Congress on 11 June. This underpins the transparency of the judging process and offers attendees greater insight into the winning projects and the award decisions, as well as providing a valuable learning opportunity in advance of the Congress. Attendees will also be able to comment and pose their own questions to the shortlisted projects through the live chat.
Comprising organisations and project teams in the running for nine awards across primary, community, secondary and tertiary levels of international healthcare provision and delivery, the shortlist is as follows (click on the live judging dates to book your place for each webinar):

This robust evaluation methodology ensures a balanced and transparent decision-making process.
