Recognized being as a Pioneer and Advocate of Open Education and Internet Access
From the nominator:
Gabriella Paolini has been building the open internet and open education in Italy for over thirty years – first as one of the earliest internet infrastructure professionals in the country, then as Training and E-Learning coordinator at GARR, Italy’s national research and education network. Since 2015 she has been a tireless advocate and practitioner of Open Educational Resources, producing freely available training materials, running programs for the academic community, and connecting open infrastructure with open pedagogy. She is also a member of WikiDonne association, contributing her expertise to closing the gender gap in cultural heritage and open knowledge.
What I love is that this seems to be an extraordinary woman going quietly about her business, not craving the limelight, but making a huge difference to a lot of people who probably don’t even know who she is. It takes a friend to write a nomination, and the rest of us to be grateful they did :)”
