ICT Conference Scholarships:

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD), hosted at the Georgia Institute of Technology, March 12-15 Atlanta, Georgia USA.

ICTD is the world's premier conference examining the role of computers and communications in social, economic and political development.

The conference will attract over 500 leading scholars and practitioners working at the intersections of information technologies and global development.

ICTD will consist of:

  • Two days of single-track peer-reviewed papers
  • Two days of open sessions (interactive workshops, panels, and more), and
  • A series of keynote speakers, demonstrations, and beyond.

    ICTD will provide an international forum for scholarly researchers exploring the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in social, political, and economic development.

    The conference program and accepted papers will reflect and deepen the multidisciplinary nature of ICTD research, with anticipated representation from anthropology, computer science, communication, design, economics, electrical engineering, geography, information science, political science, public health, sociology, and so on.

    Submitted papers are subject to a rigorous and selective double-blind peer review; accepted papers will appear in electronic conference proceedings and will be archived in the ACM digital library.

    A subset of the papers will also appear in a special issue of Information Technologies & International Development.

    ICTD is the fifth of an ongoing series of conferences occurring every one-and-a-half years.
