2011 Informatics Europe Curriculum Best Practices Award

  Informatics Europe proudly announces the 2011 Curriculum Best 
Practices Award, devoted to curriculum initiatives in the area of 
Parallelism and Concurrency.

The Informatics Europe Curriculum Best Practices Award recognizes 
outstanding European educational initiatives that improve the quality of 
informatics teaching and the attractiveness of the discipline, and can 
be applied and extended beyond their institutions of origin.

  The Award will reward a successful teaching effort in Europe that:

   *  has made a measurable difference in the teaching of parallelism 
and concurrency

   *   is widely available for reuse by the teaching community

   *   has made a measurable impact in its original institution and 
beyond it.

  Examples of impact include: course results, industry collaboration, 
student projects, textbooks, influence on the curriculum of other 
universities.

  The 2011 Award is devoted to curriculum initiatives in the general 
area of parallelism and concurrency. It is funded through a generous 
grant from Intel Corporation.

The amount of the Award is EUR 30,000.00
