Exhibitor

The ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) Collective was established in 2004, with its Secretariat at Royal Holloway, University of London. Its founding aim was to bring together researchers and practitioners who were “committed to undertaking the highest possible quality of research in the field of ICT4D, and making the results of this available freely to the global community”. Between 2007 and 2023 it provided a focus for the work of the UNESCO Chair in ICT4D founded at Royal Holloway, University of London, and in 2007 it also created the ICT4D Group on Facebook, which has 5,761 members in 2026.

Since 2000, its main activities have focused on:
• Technology and Education for the most marginalised post-COVID-19;
• Digital technologies, inequality and migration;
• The safe, wise and secure use of digital tech;
• Changing men’s (and boys’) attitudes and behaviours to women, girls and digital tech, particularly through TEQtogether; and
• The interface between digital tech and Nature, through its involvement in the Digital Environment System Coalition.Materials from these initiatives, as well as those of our partners and members (including RC-DISC at University of Canberra, ICT4D.at, YouthIGF, Jigsaw, and ACORAB) will be available at the exhibition. Copies of Tim Unwin’s Digital Inclusion in an Unequal World: An Emancipatory Manifesto, at a 30% discount, will also be available after our session at 16.00 on 6 July in L1.
