Web2ForDev 2007 is the first conference devoted to exploring
the ways
in which international development stakeholders can take
advantage of
the technical and organizational opportunities provided by
Web 2.0
methods, approaches and applications.
The conference will promote the adoption and dissemination
of
appropriate, low-cost and replicable Internet-based
applications by
actors in agriculture, rural development, and natural
resource
management. It aims to inspire participants to use and
develop their
own information management and communication systems based
on these
applications.
The conference targets agriculture, rural development, and
natural
resource management stakeholders, particularly those from
developing
countries, experienced with or interested in the potential
of Web 2.0,
including technology intermediaries, policy makers,
information and
communication specialists, software developers, application
and system
providers and information service providers. Participants
are expected
to have experience and understanding of information and
communication
technologies (ICTs) and to be in a position to understand,
adopt and
disseminate the showcased applications and approaches.
In particular we encourage proposals that are:
* Thematic case studies: 15/20-minute presentations on
examples of
projects and processes that are adopting Web 2.0 tools and
methodologies, and that evaluate their impacts, benefits
and
challenges;
* Thematic showcases: 15/20-minute presentations on Web
2.0 tools
and methodologies developed for knowledge exchange,
collaboration,
learning and networking;
* Panel discussions: 30-minute exchanges that provide an
overview
of one or more cross-cutting issue; these will be debated by
a group
of panellists and facilitated by a chairperson.
