Former ISI Student finalist for Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship

One of the former students of the International Studies for Informatics Program in Austria, namely Alexandra Jimborean, has been accepted as a finalist for the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship (ABMS). She has been selected as one of the 20 finalists from Europe.

“After graduating the ISI Master programme, I have begun my PhD studies in Strasbourg, France. Nevertheless, I continue to apply to diverse scholarships and contests, and the one I am currently preparing for is http://www.google.com/anitaborg-emea/ – offered by Google.”

- says Alexandra before her application to Google’s scholarship.

After the personal recommendation from Prof. Bruno Buchberger, head of the International Master’s Program and based on her expertise she has been successfully selected, and let ISI know of her success:

“I would like to thank you for your recommendation and for your support and I am very happy to inform you that I have been selected by Google as one of the 20 finalists from Europe. Therefore, I have been awarded a prize of excellence and the sum of 7000E. The event will be celebrated in Zurich by the end of June. Again, thank you very much for your help.”

This should be a motivation to our future students applying to our International Master’s Program.

The International Studies for Informatics is inviting young students worldwide to study at their school formed in collaboration between the Johannes Kepler University Linz and the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences. The students will have an opportunity to study with an innovative Austrian company, get their own individual study plan and their own advisor. Future possibilities at the International School are also possible as the program lies in the middle of the Softwarepark Hagenberg where there is opportunity to work, found a company via the International Incubator Hagenberg or study further with the International PhD Program.
