Five European teams have won a Best Collaboration Award 2012. The overall winner among the five will be announced at an Award Ceremony in Groeningen, the Netherlands on 20th of September 2012.

Like Urban Mediaspace, the Halifax Library project has taken shape after extensive sessions of user-group involvement. |
