DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers and Participation \nIn conjunction with the 3rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD2009) 17 – 19 April 2009\, Doha\, Qatar\, http://www.ictd2009.org \nIPID (the International Network for Postgraduate Students in the area of ICT4D) together with GSHCID (Graduate Students in Human-Computer Interaction and Development) are organising a workshop for “young” researchers to be held on Friday 17 April 2009 8:30am – 5:00pm at Carnegie-Mellon’s campus in Doha\, Qatar. \nFocus: The focus will be on the process of ICT4D research giving the participants an opportunity to discuss and reflect on various aspects of such research. \nProgram: The workshop aims to provide an informal forum where participants can share their research experiences\, initial findings and ideas in a supportive peer-environment. The area of ICT4D includes a wide range of fields of studies. By attending the workshop participants can share and reflect on their research findings as well as on their own experiences in ICT4D research. \nThe morning session senior academic researcher’s panel is now confirmed and includes: Professor Tim Unwin\, UNESCO Chair in ICT4D\, Royal Holloway\, University of London\, Dr. Michael Best\, Georgia Institute of Technology\, and Dr. Chris Coward\, University of Washington. \nFormat: Participants will be asked to read everyone’s position papers in advance\, to maximize face-time at the workshop. The morning session will include presentations of short papers of between 5-10 minutes followed by feedback from both the participants and invited senior academic researchers. The afternoon session of the workshop will revolve around small breakout group discussions\, structured around themes to be decided with participants via email prior to the workshop\, followed by a closing discussion among all attendees. Intended Audience: The workshop will be open to all “young” researchers in the area of ICTD/ICT4D. We use “young” broadly to reflect the vibrancy of ICTD as a new discipline\, in which we strive to create an inclusive workshop atmosphere where all researchers whether they are students\, recent Ph.D. graduates or even senior researchers with a track record in other fields who view themselves as “young-at-heart” researchers congregate to learn from one another about how to do research in the nascent field of ICTD. Space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. The morning session will be more generally across ICTD topics\, the afternoon session will have a greater focus\, though not restricted to HCI issues. \nSubmissions: If you’re interested in attending\, submit a short position paper (no longer than 4 pages) describing your prior ICTD research experience and your views on the challenges of ICTD research\, and mail it in PDF format to yrictd@gmail.com by March 1st for review. \nImportant Dates: \n\nSubmission of short papers: 1 March 2009\nNotification of acceptance: 15 March 2009\nWorkshop: 17 April 2009\n\nCost: Workshop attendance is free for ICTD2009 conference attendees. \nAttendees however have to be registered for ICTD2009 to attend the workshop\, or apply for a waiver. \nAttendee Sponsorships: There are very limited sponsorships and waivers for workshop participants.

SUMMARY:Blended technologies for development 1
DESCRIPTION:Report from the first one-day course on “Blended technologies for development”. \nOn Monday January 26th we were 23 IPID members that visited Ericsson in Stockholm for a full day education on Mobile technologies for development. \nEricsson started the day by sharing their view on what is happening in the field of M4D. They told us about their work with the Millennium villages and their project “Communication for All”. Recent trends and applications were discussed as well as the challenges and opportunities they see for the uptake of mobile phones. The major challenges they perceive are: infrastructure\, affordable services\, regulation and taxation. Solutions suggested mainly concerned the lowering of energy consumption – solar and wind power have produced some astonishingly good results. Furthermore\, many personal stories of people in developing countries were presented to show how the use of mobile phones has managed to increase both their quality of life and income. \nThe most popular themes for the day were\, however\, the practical\, hands-on demonstrations that we were given. The first demonstration took us on a historic journey from the very first telephones to the first “mobile” phone (not so mobile actually) up until today. \nThe second demonstration was in Ericsson´s Site City where we were physically introduced to different solutions for base-stations\, antennas and power supplies. The Site City enabled us to see these solutions in a real life setting\, which highly deepened our understanding. After this we were demonstrated the future trends within mobile technology including a miniature beamer that projected what you had in the phone extremely well. \nAfter a long\, informative and entertaining day we were all very satisfied with what we had learned.

SUMMARY:The Karlstad ICT4D Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Karlstad ICT4D Symposium\, the 2nd Annual International Postgraduate Symposium\, was held in Sweden at Karlstad University the 30-31 of August 2007. \nHere follows a report from the Karlstad ICT4D Symposium by Marcus Duveskog\, University of Joensuu\, Finland. \nAs representative of the Symposium committee I would like to thank everyone who made it to Karlstad for the second symposium in ICT4D as your participation contributed to its success. The Symposium had 40 registered participants representing almost as many nationalities giving 23 presentations including speeches from senior researchers. It has become one of the academic highlight of the year for many of us as it is not often we get to share our research ideas in such a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. New for this year was that presenters received written feedback from the keynote speakers and that the presentation also resulted in 3 ECTS points. Additionally\, all participants got a certificate from Karlstad University to verify their attendance at the symposium. \nThrough the symposium the IPID network has been growing bigger and stronger. For a long time many of us was feeling very lonely being the only one at our universities in ICT4D but now we are a community and together we can make a difference. We would especially like to thank our keynote speakers Prof. Tim Unwin\, UNESCO Chair in ICT4D\, Royal Holloway University of London\, UK\, Prof. Erkki Sutinen\, University of Joensuu\, Finland and ass. Prof. Khalid Rabayah\, Arab American University\, West Bank\, Palestine for great inspiration and support. We would also like to thank Karlstad University for hosting the event and SPIDER for the financial support. Many participants have also expressed gratitude towards Gudrun for opening up her home and throwing a great Swedish crayfish party and God knows how many hours she spent preparing for the symposium and to make sure we all felt most welcome. Now we are looking forward for next year’s event that will be hosted by University of Joensuu in Finland.
