<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font color="#000000"><br></font><div><font color="#000000">The Open Repositories Steering Committee instituted the Scholarship Programme to encourage participation by librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields, who might not otherwise have the resources to attend Open Repositories. The Scholarship Programme covers the cost of full registration, including the conference dinner. We look forward to welcoming the scholarship recipients, and all delegates, to Helsinki next week.</font></div>
