Its mission is to communicate IPVS activities, amplify key messages, and support growth in membership and community interaction.

Key activities of the Committee include selecting the “IPVS Paper of the Week”, featuring Country Ambassador Spotlights, and producing short video content highlighting members and the scientific program of the annual IPVS conference. Members meet regularly to plan content strategies, assess engagement metrics, and develop new campaigns that support visibility, outreach, and membership growth.
