2020 IFIP European Conference on the Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries
10th – 11th June 2020
Online
The University of Salford was delighted to host the European Regional Conference on the Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries online.
Working Group 9.4 of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) attracts ethnographers, anthropologists, technologists, ethicists, and engineers interested in the issues around Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and international development. The work of the group often targets countries on the OECD DAC list of official development assistance recipients, but we are also interested in other communities or groups that are marginalised or disadvantaged in their relationships with technologies.
We seek contributions disseminating new and unpublished research from across the full range of interests within the working group.
