The second phase of the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS) will convene in November
2005 in Tunis, Tunisia. In anticipation of this event,
the United Nations Development Programme's Special
Unit for South-South Collaboration (UNDP/SSC) is
cooperating with TWAS – the academy of sciences for
the developing world – and the Third World Network of
Scientific Organizations (TWNSO) to produce a new
volume in the 'Sharing Innovative Experiences' series
of publications.

The volume of case studies will focus on successful
applications of knowledge sharing initiatives for
local development in developing countries.

To identify examples of such successful knowledge
sharing initiatives, UNDP/SSC, TWAS and TWNSO and are
now inviting nominations for participants to attend a
workshop that will lead to the publication of the
'Sharing Innovative Experiences' volume of case
studies.

Case studies could focus on networks and other
conduits for sharing knowledge in the broadcast or
print media, or using new information and
communication technologies. National and local
governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations
and scientific and technological institutions are
invited to propose potential contributors by 28
February 2005 (email: info at twnso.org). Proposed
contributors will be contacted in order to develop a
short abstract.

An expert advisory board will review all the proposals
and select 20 to 30 to be presented at a workshop to
be held at the headquarters of TWNSO in Trieste,
Italy, on 4-6 July 2005. Authors will be expected to
present full length 'success stories', which will then
be edited by TWNSO for inclusion the 'Sharing
Innovative Experiences' volume, which will be
published in time for launching at the WSIS next
November.
