IFIA'S EVALUATION &

SCORING DEPARTMENT:

PROVIDING EASY ACCESS TO

GLOBAL INNOVATIVE

ACTIVITIES

IFIA‘s Evaluation & Scoring Department is recently developed
and managed by Mr. Majid Elbouazzaoui, IFIA representative
from Morocco. The department is based on a Universal Peri-
odic Review (UPR) providing easy access to country-specific
inventions and innovations information emanating from in-
ternational IFIA members’ activities and achievements includ-
ing organization of international invention exhibition under
IFIA’s patronage, promoting and disseminating the culture of
invention and innovation, participation in IFIA’s international
events and contribution to IFIA’s international projects.

This tool aims at raising awareness of the culture of invention
and innovation originating from these mechanisms and at as-
sisting States, national institutions, civil society organizations,
and IFIA partners with their implementation. The Index allows
the user to find out about the global activities in the field of
invention and innovation and to see how they have evolved
over the past years.

The unique feature of the Index is to enable the user to ac-
cess and search UPR recommendations and the position of
the State under Review.
