>Herewith I would like to draw your attention to the conference "Global
>E-Quality - Rethinking ICTs in Africa, Asia and Latin America.� The
>conference, organized by the International Institute Of Infonomics, will
>take place from March 25 � 27, 2002 in the historic city of Maastricht (The
>Netherlands).
>
>A brief introduction
>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 bytes indeed travel freely
>across the world. What are the consequences of the digitisation of society
>at a global scale? What happens when global bytes arrive at particular local
>sites? Will this enhance e-quality globally? This work-conference will
>confront these issues by analysing Information and Communication
>Technologies (ICTs), with a particular focus on the Internet, in countries
>in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
>
>Global E-Quality will bring together scholars, policy makers, NGOs and
>innovative thinkers from around the world. 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.
>
>
>Prior to the conference, participants will present their views on-line in
>the Gallery of Ideas, you can already find reports on Internet in Asia and
>in Africa there. Please visit the website for more information:
