I'm forwarding this conference announcement for a friend who is on the organising committee. Interesting conference, interesting people showing up there. Infonomics seems on a roll, next year they will host the AoIR Internet Research conference. Cheers, Frank. --- START OF FORWARDED MESSAGE ----------------------------------------- Dear all, Herewith I would like to draw your attention to a conference organized by the International Institute Of Infonomics from March 24 - 27, 2002 in Maastricht (The Netherlands), titled "Global E-Quality - Rethinking ICTs in Africa, Asia and Latin America", a conference that will bring together academics from all over the world. You can find further details on http://www.infonomics.nl/globalequality/ A brief intro Today's world can very well be considered to be a wired one, encapsulated by what is known as the World Wide Web. As the digitisation of society unfolds, there is an increasing need to know whether this phenomenon will engender an E-Qual society globally. This conference will address this subject by analysing ICTs, with a particular focus on the Internet, in countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Global E-Quality will bring together academics from different disciplines from Africa, Asia and Latin America. The conference is dialogue-driven; its main format will be a series of workshops chaired by leading experts in the field. The number of participants will be limited in order to facilitate an open and in-depth debate. We suggest that you register as early as possible. Global E-Quality is being organised by the International Institute of Infonomics, a new venture of the University of Maastricht and Hogeschool Zuyd, sponsored by the European Commission. In case you require further information after visiting the website, please do not hesitate to contact me.
