Introducing our European 2008 Anita Borg Scholars
July 17, 2008
Posted by Beate List, University Programme, Zurich
A few months ago we had the great pleasure of
announcing
the fifth class of Anita Borg Scholars in the U.S. and our first class of Scholars in Canada. Now it's the Europeans' turn.
This scholarship program, originally established in the U.S. to honor the work of
Anita Borg
and to recognize outstanding young women scholars in computer science and related fields, expanded to Europe most recently. Nearly 300 undergraduate and graduate students from more than 31 countries applied for the award. Sixty-three finalists were selected; 20 women received a €5,000 scholarship for the 2008-2009 academic year. The remaining 43 finalists received a €1,000 award.
Each of the finalists visited our
Engineering Centre in Zurich
for our annual Scholars' Retreat, which included tech talks, career panels and social fun. All of it was a way for the young women to share experiences and come together as leaders in the computer science field.

Google Europe Anita Borg Scholarship page
for more on the program. Hearty congratulations to these winners!
