Hello Daniel, thanks for your first report of the UN ICT at Berlin. So some reaction of mine can follow now. The people we spoke like to have the things we discussed informal at this time. You prepared the contacts in a wonderful way at friday. So it was easy for them to contact me at saturday. To have the discussion informal gave the possibility to speak more with open words together. Most impressive was that the WHO representant take at saturday more than one hour to speak with us about structural and strategic needs.
Some more if the people here are realy interested. Regards Wilfried. > > I joined the UN ICT at Berlin from Nov 10th to Nov 11th to get some > interesting contacts for the care2x project.
