Dear all:
Please find below a message from Edith Adera.
Kind regards.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Firstly, let me introduce myself. I work for INASP (the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications) and one of my responsibilities is to assist in the coordination of the 2007 Access to Learning Award, an award given by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It recognises excellence in providing access to information through computers, at no cost to the user. The recipient will receive an award of up to US $1 million. It must be stressed that this is an award for work already completed or in progress, it is not a grant.
We are currently contacting our large international network with information to encourage applications. I am sure many of your contacts may be eligible. We should be grateful if you could use means at your disposal, e.g. news item in your bulletin or journal, or links from your website to inform your community and contacts.
Please find attached a copy of the ATLA brochure in English and the application form. Full information (including brochures in relevant languages, and application form) is also available on our website at http://www.inasp.info/ldp/awards
If you think I can help in any other way, please do get in touch with me.
Best wishes,
Rebecca
