The Webby Awards are the Oscars of the Internet. This year the Educational Webby Award went to The Earth Institute of the Colombia University!

As soon as you browse through the website of the institution you understand why it has won.

They work toward this goal through scientific research, education and the practical application of research for solving real-world challenges.
