Who started AthenaWeb ?
AthenaWeb was the brainchild of a few dedicated individuals working to stimulate science film production and distribution in Europe, and to boost science communication overall. With backing from the European Commission’s Research Directorate-General, they managed to create the first, prize-winning version of AthenaWeb and launch it in 2005. With a fast-changing internet, it soon became clear that AthenaWeb should be developed into a veritable TV station and online workspace for handling the demands of busy audiovisual professionals and film-hungry audiences. AthenaWeb 2.0 was launched in the summer of 2007.
