  • Presented the work in a structure or format to facilitate international application;
  • Created the opportunity for implementation of the work internationally;
  • Adopted an internationalist approach to his/her endeavours to fight ALS/MND.

The Humanitarian Award will consist of an inscribed crystal bowl and framed citation of the awardee’s work.
