The Research Foundation of the International Association of Business Communicators has just awarded Martin Eppler and Jeanne Mengis a research grant and comissioned a study on Communication Solutions Against Information Overload. This will only be the second foundation grant ever going outside of North America (after a grant awarded to the Norwegian School of Management in 2003).
