Dear Colleagues,

The UNESCO Chair in Technologies for Development hosted by the Cooperation and Development Center (CODEV) is pleased to announce that the third International Conference on Technologies for Development: What is Essential? will take place at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland on 4-6 June 2014. The conference – held in English – will offer a high-level platform to take part in cutting-edge discussions in the field of technologies for development, to share information and to network.

The UNESCO Chair invites authors from research, industry, policy or civil society to submit their abstracts under one of the announced conference sessions (http://cooperation.epfl.ch/2014Tech4Dev/Sessions). The abstracts can either offer good examples and pilot experiences of concrete applications or provide reflections on these issues. Abstracts need to be based on North-South or South-South collaborations.

Abstracts in English of a maximum of 500 words should be submitted no later than 14 October 2013. Abstracts will be peer reviewed and a decision will be sent by 11 November 2013. The deadline for full paper submission is 13 January 2014. A selection of the best papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in an edited volume by Springer-Verlag. Some level of financial assistance may be available for authors from developing or emerging countries. Instructions for the submission of abstracts can be found on the conference website: http://cooperation.epfl.ch/2014Tech4Dev.

Please feel free to circulate this call to your contacts and networks. A link on your website to this call would be appreciated.

Many thanks for your support.
