ICTD 2010

The goal of the ICTD conference is to provide an international forum for scholarly researchers exploring ICTs applied to development.

The conference is the latest in the series of highly successful international ICTD conferences held in Doha (2009), Bangalore  (2007) and Berkeley  (2006).  It aims to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and all those with interests in the use of information and communication technologies in development practice to meet to discuss the latest research advances in the field.

Building on the success of its predecessors, ICTD2010 will combine two days of plenary peer-reviewed paper sessions, with two days of workshops, panel sessions, discussion forums, demos and sessions in both French and Spanish.  A particular feature will be the opportunity that it will provide for participatory involvement from people from a diversity of backgrounds.

ICTD2010 is being hosted by the UNESCO Chair in ICT4D and the multidisciplinary ICT4D Research Centre at Royal Holloway, University of London’s magnificent campus situated only 20 minutes from London’s Heathrow airport.
