Congratulations to MW2008 Scholarship Winners

­

We are always looking for ways to ensure that participation at Museums and the Web is as diverse as possible. This year – for MW2008 – we've put together a great scholarship program. We're delighted to announce the results!

Professional Scholarships
New and innovative accomplishments on the Web come from all kinds of organizations throughout the world. Archives & Museum Informatics recognizes that many individuals would be unable to attend Museums and the Web without financial assistance. Competitive scholarships, covering travel and hotel expenses, conference registration and a full day of workshops, are awarded by Archives & Museum Informatics. Congratulations to the winners of the 2008 Professional Scholarships:

• Inna Kizhner, Program Coordinator, Department of Information Resources, Siberian Federal University
