January Webinar Features the ICT for Development International School: Shaping the Experts of the Future

By IGI Global on Dec 4, 2012
Progressive information and communication is necessary to propel the development of society. This concept is called Information and Communication Technologies for Development, or ICT4D.

January Webinar Features the ICT for Development International SchoolThe ICT for Development International School (ICT4DEVIS) was conceived by FRA (Fondazione Rosselli Americas) as an instrument to develop practical applications of this concept in the evolving field of international cooperation for development. ITC4DEVIS sponsors yearly summer learning sessions to complement academic training with an opportunity for students, professionals, and practitioners to identify and discuss innovative applications of ICT, to solve relevant development challenges, and to seize professional opportunities in International Organizations working in ICT4D. This summer school is organized and hosted yearly by prestigious international institutions and universities, and hosts students from every continent. The first 2012 edition was organized and hosted by the University of Insubria in Como, Italy; the second one will be organized and hosted in 2013 by the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil.

On Thursday, January 10th at 2:00 pm EST, Dr. Danilo Piaggesi, Managing Director of FRA, USA; Professor Walter Castelnovo, Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Inter-organizational Information Systems at the University of Insubria, Italy; and Professor Edson Luis Riccio, Associate Professor of Information Systems and International Business at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, will host a session in IGI Global’s Online Sympsium Series which will investigate the conceptualization, establishment, current outcomes and future activities of ICT4DEVIS, and its contribution to improve international cooperation for development.
