SUMMARY:'Academia meets Practice'
DESCRIPTION:IPID is launching a new seminar theme ‘Academia meets Practice’.The seminars on the theme ‘Academia meets Practice’ will make it possible for postgraduates to meet\, to listen to and to discuss ICT4D with practitioners who have wide experience from the ‘real’ world. By attending the seminars postgraduates can improve their understanding of current practical issues in the ICT4D area. IPID will invite practitioners both from the government sector as well as from private companies. The seminars are open to all IPID members. The language of the seminars is English. \nThe seminars have four main aims: \n\nTo encourage the sharing of research ideas and practices among postgraduates and practitioners in the field of ICT4D\nTo provide an opportunity for postgraduate students at all stages in their careers to establish contacts with presumptive employers\nTo enable postgraduate students at an early stage in their career to get input from practitioners\nTo network and further strengthen the existing network between researchers and practitioners within ICT4D

SUMMARY:Satellite Communication Course 27 May 2008
DESCRIPTION:IPID arranged a one-day Satellite Communication Course on the 27th of May 2008. \nThe course included presentations about satellite technology as well as a study visit to the Earth Station facility\, Stockholm Teleport\, Farsta. Below follows a report written by one of the participants Alamdar Ali Khan. \n“IPID\, in collaboration with SPIDER (The Swedish Program for ICT in Developing Regions) arranged one day course at Morgana Hotell & Konferens Farsta\, Stockholm. The postgraduate students from different universities of Sweden met practitioners from different satellite communication areas and discussed the potentials and possibilities of satellite communication within the developing and under-developing regions. The course started an introductory presentation of Gudrun Wicander. The key speaker Mr. Olavi\, with experience from Telia and Swedish Teleport\, thrown light of the potential of satellite communication. Mr. Olavi presented the different types of satellite communication\, their bandwidth\, satellite footprint\, their cost and benefit analysis\, comparative analysis with other contemporary technologies. The key speaker also indicated the specific areas and purposes where satellite communication could be beneficial. He said that with the introduction of new satellite technologies the cost of satellite communication has been tremendously decreased. After the presentation and lecture by Mr. Olavi Trydhed and Gudrun Wicander the group of students\, teachers\, and practitioners went to Earth station\, Swedish Teleport in Stockholm. At the Swedish Teleport students were introduced to different working processes\, that how Teleport is being used for commercial and business purposes.

SUMMARY:UNESCO Paris 24-25 April 2008
DESCRIPTION:IPID The International Network for Post Graduate Students in the Area of ICT4D and its program ’Academia meets Practice’ arranged a study visit to UNESCO headquarters in Paris the 23-24th April 2008. Gudrun Wicander (IPID Coordinator) organized the event together with Tim Unwin (UNESCO Chair in ICT4D) with the financial support of SPIDER. The aim of this event was to allow IPID members to explore the contributions of UNESCO’S Information Society Division to ICT4D research. \nAmong the UNESCO key speakers we have: Mr. Tarek Shawki (Chief of Section for ICT in Education\, Science and Culture)\, Cédric Wachholz (Program Specialist\, Education Sector)\, Jean Claude Dauphin (Open Source and Open Access)\, and Armelle Arrou (Information Society Division). The key speakers described the mission\, structure\, finances\, and future of UNESCO as a global organization. They also explained the role of UNESCO in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)\, which promotes the concept of the ’knowledge society’ and its principles: freedom of expression\, universal access to information and knowledge. Moreover\, the key speakers described some of UNESCO programs for Communication and Information such as The International Program for the Development of Communication\, The Information for all programs\, Creative Content\, Memory of the World Program\, and global uses of Open Source. \nThe participants were 20 PhD students researching in the area of ICT4D from all over the world affiliated to IPID. During this event\, the PhD students shared their experiences in current research using ICT4D in countries such as: Tanzania\, Iraq\, Iran and Venezuela. In summary\, 20 ICT4D research cases were explored focusing on ICT\, infrastructure\, social impact and challenges for each region. \nThis event was highly appreciated by its participants because of its relevance in their current ICT4D research. This event contributed to a deeper understanding of ICT4D in several ways. First\, this event explores the contributions of UNESCO to ICT4D research. Secondly\, it explores the contributions of 20 PhD students working with ICT4D all over the world to ICT4D research. Finally\, it provides a forum for the understanding of challenges using ICT in different development countries.

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.

SUMMARY:eLearning workshop in Örebro\, Sweden 2007
DESCRIPTION:Several IPID members took part in the SPIDER workshop on eLearning for developing countries. The workshop was held 13-14 June at Örebro University\, Sweden. There was a wide range of participants; national as well as international with experience from e-learning. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss how eLearning could be made possible where it is most needed. The Örebro workshop served as a continuation of the eLearning Africa conference in Nairobi\, May 2007\, with the aim of planting the best seeds from eLearning Africa and making them grow to future realistic projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. \nThe workshop started by analysing needs and resources in Sub-Saharan Africa today (based on discussions at the eLearning Africa conference) followed by discussions on the challenges\, barriers and best practices experienced by people from the field and research. The workshop had three tracks\, on technology\, pedagogy and content respectively\, and by the end of the workshop the three tracks were combined with the aim of delivering a framework for future doable projects. The Örebro Workshop attempted to outline a set of criteria and courses of action on eLearning\, suitable for the needs of learners and educators in Africa.  Some photos from the workshop has been uploaded to the website. http://www.electronicgovernment.se/eLearning/images.asp  e-learning Africa http://www.elearning-africa.com/
