That would have been excellent to link to!

We are extremely happy about this and would of course very much like to come and receive this great award however, I must see if I or someone else is able to arrange sufficient funding for the trip. I will most probably be able to resolve this by tomorrow.
>>>>> 
>>>>> Just to be able to communicate this award in a good way - and please excuse my insufficient knowledge about the ePSI Platform - could you just briefly describe what it is and who is behind it? I have seen it referenced in many interesting places and know about the conference - but I was unable to find a short definition of the platform. Also, in terms of planning potential attendance - when must we be on-site to accept the award and discuss the ideas behind trafiklab.se? Finally, do you know how many trailblazers which have been selected?
