Innovations for Digital Inclusion |
|
ITU-T Kaleidoscope event, Mar del Plata, Argentina, 31 Aug - 1 Sep 2009 |
|
Innovations for Digital Inclusion is the second in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences
that aims at increasing the dialogue between experts working on the standardization of information and
communications technologies (ICT) and academia. By viewing technologies through a
“Kaleidoscope”,
these forward looking events also seek to identify new topics for standardization.
Kaleidoscope-2009 analyzed technologies, services and applications five years and beyond that will capitalize on
NGN infrastructure and promote digital inclusion. The event covered multidisciplinary aspects, including
regulatory and societal challenges as well as analysis of standardization needed.
Innovative technologies will help bring the benefits of ICTs to all segments of the population, in particular
those in underserved communities and developing countries. The event promoted research that supports innovation
in ICTs toward universal, sustainable, ubiquitous and affordable access by all.
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), Geneva 2003 – Tunis 2005, advocated turning the digital
divide into a digital opportunity. In accordance with WSIS declarations and ITU’s commitment to connect the world,
the Standardization Sector of ITU (ITU-T) called for original academic papers offering innovative approaches
addressing digital inclusion. A prize fund totalling $10,000 was awarded to the four best papers, see the conference report for more information.
