Over the past month, we have worked on a feature story which gives a good overview of this year’s Innovation in Education Grant Initiative. This year 50 schools and universities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa received state-of-the-art HP technology and a cash grant to help them bring their projects to life. In addition, all grant winners were invited to attend the 2010 HP Innovations in Education Worldwide Summit.

Innovation in Education: Our new social investment programme

Daniela.Opp — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:58:00 GMT

Here are two items of exciting news. This year we have launched a new social investment programme called the ’Innovation in Education Grant Initiative’. It is a competitive education initiative that invites secondary schools and universities in EMEA countries to submit proposals for their most innovative teaching and learning projects. I recently gave in an interview about the programme in our Global Citizenship Bulletin. If you are interested, take a look here.

The other item of exciting news is that, from this initiative, we have just selected the 50 winners who are to receive HP grants – 30 universities and 20 secondary schools. All the projects are exciting and fantastic. You find the details of the winners here.

If you have specific questions, do not hesitate to leave a comment.
