Engineering the Knowledge Society (EKS), Geneva Dec. 2003 - Information technology supporting human development
Information Technology (or Information and Communication Technology) cannot be seen as a separate entity. Its application should support human development and this application has to be engineered. What has to be taken into account when engineering the Knowledge Society? The Conference will address: Lifelong Learning and education, e-inclusion, ethics and social impact, engineering profession, developing e-society, economy and e-Society.
What actions have to be undertaken to realize a human centered Knowledge Society? The presentations in this World Summit parallel event will reflect the active stance towards human development supported by ICT expressed in its title. A Round Table session will provide concrete proposals for action. Some inputs :
