> Community Networks are invited to join the Global Bangemann Challenge
> 
> The Global Bangemann Challenge is a nonprofit awards program initiated
> by the City of  Stockholm and supported by the European Commission. The
> purpose of the Challenge is to identify and expose useful and functional
> information technology projects from all over the world, that help
> people reach new levels of prosperity, health and democracy, such as for
> example community networks.
> 
> The Challenge spans for two years and the goal is to attract projects
> from cities and regions around the world. In June 1999 there will be an
> Awards Ceremony in Stockholm and the winners and finalists will receive
> their trophies and of course great media attention.
> 
> Read more about the Challenge on our website;
> http://www.challenge.stockholm.se, where you can also study the projects
> already submitted from all over the world. As of the beginning of August
> 1998, 330 projects from all over the world have joined the Challenge and
> it is expected that there will be some 500 participating projects by the
> closing date on December 31:st.  A great deal of these are inititives
> for community networking; geographic such as RAVAL-net in Barcelona as
> well as sectoral such as the Swedish SenoirNet. We are now inviting more
> initiatives and projects to join and share their knowledge and
> experience.
