Hi ALL
During the last months with my group in Argentina we have worked on the site:
www.hci4d.org
?www.hci4d.org (Human Computer Interaction for Development) is entended to
provide a platform for exchange of information, ideas, opinions and
experiences, for those in research, practice and education in the world of
Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D).
?It should also serve prospect masters and PhD students to discover the
different active groups and activities within research in ICT4D. A ?Funding?
slot will be maintained where possible grants, scholarships and employment
offerings will be announced.
?It will mostly reflect the information that circulates in mailing lists such
as tier at tier.cs.berkeley.edu, hci4d at googlegroups.com and change at
cs.washington.edu
?The idea of this site stems from the workshop on development carried out in
April 2008 in Florence Italy. (HCI for community and international development
workshop at CHI 2008).
?At present the site is administrated and maintained by my group at Universidad
Nacional de La Plata, Argentina.
It would be very useful to get your input on the groups you work and any
relevant information on ict4d so as to include them.
I would like to stress the importance on getting information, in particular,
for the funding slot. Working in research in an undeveloped country is not
simple and not missing possible opportunities really helps.
