This year’s awards were presented by Georg Rehm, META-NET Network Manager and Nicoletta Calzolari, President of ELRA. Awarded this year were 4 META Seal of Recognition awards and 1 META Prize winner.

The META Prize is awarded by the META Technology Council to outstanding products or services supporting the European Multilingual Information Society. From this year’s short list of nominees one clear winner emerged ahead of the pack and so the META Prize was awarded to The Rosetta Foundation for their groundbreaking work enabling the global conversation in communities and social localization, making information available to individuals irrespective of their social status, linguistic or cultural background.

META-NET is proud to be able to recognise the contributions and achievements of such high level work in our field. Congratulations to all our winners!
