\"\"<\/a>Dr. Anita Borg devoted her adult life to revolutionising the way we think about technology and dismantling barriers that keep women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields. Her combination of technical expertise and fearless vision continues to inspire and motivate countless women to become active participants and leaders in creating technology.<\/p>\n

As part of Google\u2019s ongoing commitment to furthering Anita\u2019s vision, we are pleased to announce The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship: Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Through the scholarship, we aim to encourage women to excel in computing and technology, and become active role models and leaders.<\/p>\n

Multiple scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates\u2019 academic performance, leadership experience and demonstrated passion for computer science. A group of female Bachelor\u2019s, Master\u2019s, and PhD student finalists will be chosen from the applicant pool. The scholarship recipients will each receive a \u20ac7,000 (or equivalent) scholarship.<\/p>\n

In June 2011, all scholarship recipients and finalists will be invited to visit Google\u2019s Engineering Centre in Zurich for a networking retreat. It will include workshops with a series of speakers, panels, breakout sessions and social activities, and will provide an opportunity for all finalists to meet and share their experiences.<\/p>\n
