Conferences and workshops

With the active participation of our network and leading authorities on any given issue, we organize workshops on ICT in relation to key development issues such as e-learning, gender, environment and healthcare.

We also support the participation of our partners in the south, in international conferences. ICT has an important role to play in international development cooperation and one of our objectives is to increase general awareness of this.
