- Next message: [Sigkm-l] Expert meeting in Paris revised the concept of knowledge societies15-03-2010 (Paris)UNESCO organized an expert meeting on "Knowledge Societies: The way forward" on 1 and 2 March 2010, in its Paris Headquarters. The purpose of the meeting was to refine UNESCO’s strategy directed towards building inclusive knowledge societies. A group of global experts from academic, civil society, and governmental sectors participated in discussions on the concept of knowledge societies.UNESCO’s primary initiative to develop the concept of knowledge societies arose with the first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in 2003 in Geneva. This later resulted in the publication of the UNESCO World Report: Towards Knowledge Societies (2005). Since then, UNESCO takes an active role to promote and advocate the construction of inclusive, pluralistic, equitable and open knowledge societies. As a result, these principles are included as one of UNESCO’s overarching objectives agreed upon in the Medium Term Strategy, 2008-2013.In light of recent technological and social developments, there was a need to revise the concept of knowledge societies. In doing so, the expert meeting targeted three main objectives:# to operationalize the concept of knowledge societies: identify mechanisms for putting the theory into practice, towards UNESCO’s goal of building inclusive knowledge societies;# to develop tools to qualify and quantify the concept of knowledge societies: provide analysis for anticipating trends and emerging challenges to support Member States in developing adequate strategies and policies, particularly in the area of communication, education, sciences and culture; and# to identify concrete activities for UNESCO to propose at the national level: learn from ongoing and recent efforts to translate the knowledge societies concept into reality on country levels.Participants of the meeting suggested a number of key actions, including:# enhancing strategic partnerships with multiple actors, ensuring, at the same time, a complementary “delivering as one” UN approach;# producing more in depth studies about ongoing, holistic national efforts to develop knowledge societies, in order to learn more about key elements of successful processes and failures;# raising the awareness of decision makers and Member States and assisting them in the implementation of the knowledge societies concept, including through the tools developed by UNESCO.The report of this meeting will be available shortly on UNESCO’s Communication and Information Sector website.Expert meeting in Paris revised the concept of knowledge societies

Dear Prof./Dr./Mrs./Mr.,
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their manuscript electronically at the Conference webpage (http://centeris.eiswatch.org) until April 05, 2010.
--------
-------- Submission and Publications
All accepted full papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings to be published by Springer-Verlag in a book of the CCIS series (Communications in Computer and Information Science), which is listed in the ISI proceedings index.
Additionally, and according to the reviewers’ recommendations, authors of selected papers will be invited to enhance the paper for publication in several international journals.
Submissions will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.
Only original contributions will be accepted.
--------
-------- Hotel and travel arrangements
The Conference will take place at Flôr de Sal Hotel in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, a 4-star Hotel, health club & SPA, located in one of the most beautiful landscapes of Portugal. Viana do Castelo is Portugal’s northernmost Atlantic City, with a privileged location due to the joint presence of river, sea and mountains. Its Atlantic coast is part of the Natural Park of the North Coast, a protected area of great beauty, and it is located in a wonderful historic and cultural region with three locations/zones proclaimed as UNESCO cultural World Heritage
Located 75 km north of the Oporto International Airport “Francisco Sa Carneiro”, it is connected by the highway A28. We suggest getting the subway and a train which cost would be around 8 Euros (one way), taking about 1 hour and 30 minutes to the Hotel, or a taxi which takes 45 minutes.
