10 Years of SIP Awards - 2024 Recognition for Excellence in SIP Reporting Recipients

The Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) Report is a pillar in the PRME community - a resource for storytelling, a tool for internal and external accountability, and a strategic document for many in their accreditation processes. To recognize the time put into compiling these reports and to honor the efforts in transparency from the community, the PRME Recognition of Excellence in SIP Reporting was created.

This year, we are celebrating 10 years of the Recognition of Excellence in SIP Reporting. Under the leadership of Giselle Weybrecht, founding Editor of the PRiMEtime Blog and former PRME Advisor, the awards have highlighted outstanding achievements in storytelling and commendable efforts in transparency, key qualities in a voluntary and value-based initiative like PRME.

Each year, Giselle reads through hundreds of reports to prepare a shortlist for the Peer Review Committee, a group of 30+ jury members, including faculty and students, selected annually from PRME Signatory Members around the world, many of whom are returning members and long-time PRME advocates.

Remaining consistent with previous years, reports considered for the recognition in 2024 were those submitted between 1 May 2023 and 2 May 2024. Furthermore, to be considered eligible, reports needed to meet the basic SIP Policy requirements. The reports must include:

• A letter signed by the highest executive of the organization expressing continued commitment to PRME.

• A description of practical actions (i.e., disclosure of any relevant policies, procedures, activities) that the institution has taken to implement one or more Principles during the past 24 months (since signing up to PRME or since last submission of a SIP).

• An assessment of outcomes (i.e., the degree to which previously outlined goals were met, or other qualitative or quantitative evaluation of results).

• Key, specific objectives for the next 24-month period with regard to the implementation of the Principle(s). Concrete strategies and timelines are encouraged.

To note, it is the quality of the reporting on progress - rather than the quality of the initiatives and integration of the Principles in practical terms - which is assessed in this review process.
