On Wednesday May 16th, Development Informatics Group at the University
of Manchester held a one-day international workshop on "Mobiles and
Development" looking at the role of mobile devices such as cell phones
and PDAs in socio-economic development.
A two-page summary report from the workshop on key issues and research
priorities, plus copies of the presentations are now available at:
http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/research/events/conferences/mobile.htm
An agreed output from the workshop was the creation of an m-Development
Network, drawing together researchers and practitioners interested in
this growing area.
If you would like to be registered with the m-Development Network,
please email me with your contact details.
