TEDC 2008 KAMPALA-UGANDA
5th International Workshop on
Technology for Innovation and Education in Developing Countries
July 31 - August 2, 2008
Kampala, Uganda
The goal of this fifth international workshop is to bring together researchers, businesses, educators, governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to discuss various issues involved in developing new techniques and on novel uses of technology for innovation and education in developing countries. A 2007 World Bank Report titled Building Knowledge Economies: Advanced Strategies for Development, states that the four key drivers for successful knowledge economies in the 21st Century are education, information technology infrastructure, research and development focused on innovation, and a free market based economy.
This conference has a unique combination of academics, community outreach, and connection with nature. There is one main conference day, followed by an outreach day and a national park day. In addition, Appfrica is starting off as a panel at the TEDC 2008. Please see the Venue page for more info on each of these days.
Many and Special thanks to our sponsors:
