SLA Europe: Early Career Conference Awards 2011
SLA Europe is delighted to be offering four opportunities for current European library and information science students and new professionals (those who have been working in the field for less than five years) to attend the 2011 SLA Conference. The lucky four will each benefit from an expenses-paid trip to the SLA Conference, to be held in Phildelphia, 12-15 June 2011.
SLA Europe is offering the Awards in partnership with four Divisions of SLA: Business & Finance, Leadership & Management, Legal, and Pharmaceutical & Health Technology.
The Awards will cover all expenses including Conference registration, hotel accommodation, economy return airfare to Phildelphia, and meals.
The deadline for applications is February 9, 2011, and winners will be notified in February.

Bethan Ruddock, co-chair of the Early Career Committee said "The Awards are very important to SLA Europe, and the wider SLA, as a way to connect with students and early career professionals. As a former award-winner, I cannnot emphasise enough how valuable this has been for my career. I am delighted that I now have the chance to work with the SLA Europe board to promote these fantastic opportunities."
Philp Gatzke, one of the 2010 award winners, said "I am happy and grateful that I got the opportunity to attend the SLA Conference 2010, to meet wonderful people and to visit New Orleans. It was an amazing experience. I really can encourage everybody to apply for this award or to attend one of the SLA conferences. It is really worth it!".
