Scholarship Grants for Next Library 2011

It is our great pleasure to announce that funds are now available to support five colleagues from countries outside Scandinavia, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, US and Canada to attend the 2011 Next Library conference in Aarhus.

Travel grants can be provided by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Successful candidates receive support in the form of conference fee plus a maximum total grant of EUR 2000 for travel, accommodation and per diem.  Additional expenses need to be covered by other sponsorships or by the candidates themselves (in exceptional circumstances and depending on travel costs, funding of up to EUR 2.500 may be considered).  

Eligible are those:

  • Who are living and working in a country outside Scandinavia, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, US and Canada

  • Who are currently working in a public library

  • Who have documented endorsement by institution/library

  • Who are library and information professionals with at least three years, but no more than eight years, of library or information science experience

  • Who have sufficient English skills, since next library 2011 will be conducted entirely in English


Priority may be given to those who in addition are contributing as a speaker or moderator in a workshop at Next Library 2011.

Next Library 2011 gratefully acknowledges grant funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
