Chief Librarian, Dr. Estela Reponte-Dequito, has been accepted as scholar in an international training program called Scientific and Technological Information Management in Universities and Libraries: an Active Training Environment (STIMULATE) 10th Edition.
Dr. Dequito will enjoy the scholarship in Brussels, Belgium for three (3) months beginning October 6 until December 22, 2010. As a scholar, she is granted a weekly scholarship allowance, a travel to and from Belgium as arranged by Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the host university.
The STIMULATE is an initiative approved by the Flemish Inter-university Council (VLIR) and is sponsored by the Belgian Government. It affords a series of international training activities that have been organized since 1991.
The international training program offers a stimulating environment to information experts in the area of science and technology which is anchored in their motto “Helping educators and innovators to advance knowledge and to enrich lives”. This fits well into the general worldwide trend away from “teaching” to “learning management”.
The DDC management, faculty and staff congratulate Dr. Dequito for the scholarship grant. All the best, Doc!
Dr. Estela Reponte-Dequito
