Practical matters
Evaluation. IPHU courses are carefully evaluated as part of learning how to do it better (more on evaluation here). Nightly Program Committee meetings (open to everyone) and the Smiley reports are key mechanisms for in-course evaluation. The Smiley template can be downloaded here in Word format (here) for editing and posting for each day.There is also an end of course evaluation.
Social events. Evening social events are an important part of the IPHU experience (cultural events, films, etc). These are entirely participant organised.
Documentation. A disparate range of resources are produced during the IPHU (including precious photographs). The documentation collective collects these so that they can be made available to everyone after the course. See below for the daily reports of common phase and the medicines stream (prepared by Anoob, Arathi, Krishna, and Montse), and the gender stream (prepared by Melanie and Marta).
Social media. We use social media to communicate among ourselves and with the outside communities watching this IPHU. The social media group takes the lead in making this happen.
Logistics and arrangements
