The ‘GUIDE Award for Online Excellence in Grant Support’ was presented to SEEDA for their www.SEEOnline.net/Broadband/CommunitySelfHelp website, set up in October 2003, at the General Assembly of EURADA, the network of Regional Development Agencies from the EU’s 25 member states, in the Czech city of Olomouc.
