– Publicerad den 3 september 2011
När Euprio Award avgjordes i Prag på lördagskvällen vann LTH-guide första priset i kategorin "New Media."
En jury bestående av kommunikationscheferna vid universiteten i Fribourg, Schweiz, CPE Lyon, Frankrike och Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet valde det LTHs bidrag bland 17 inskickade bidrag. Motiveringen lyder:
“It is called “a guide in the pocket” to help students and visitors get around in the campus and the town. Meaning that people can download on their mobile phones a complete timetable, with GPS coordinates to every lecture and their own coordinates so that they can be guided everywhere in the building.
I won’t give any more details about the project itself, I strongly encourage you to go and discover it on the website. Besides the innovativeness and the very practical aspect of this project, besides the fact that it came from 2 students and therefore replies to the needs of their fellow students, what we found absolutely amazing and remarkable is the time frame. It was presented to one of the vice-rectors in May 2010, the project was established in June 2010 and I hope you are ready for this, by August 20th 2010 yes, less than 4 months later, it was live! And of course now the project is a true success and they are developing and improving it with new versions, just like any normal IT application.”
