Call for Papers
Humanitarian Technology: Science, Systems and Global Impact is being held on 13 – 15 May 2014 at the Marriott Courtyard Boston Cambridge. Situated on the banks of the Charles River, the conference venue is conveniently located in Cambridge’s world-renowned vibrant innovation district, home to high-tech firms and leading academic institutions.
HumTech2014 will provide a forum for scientists, engineers, technologists, field workers and policy makers to showcase recent research and exchange technical ideas.
Technical sessions and technology and policy panels will focus on all aspects of technology, from science to systems, that have a global humanitarian impact. Conference tracks will be presented within an operationally-relevant context, drawing as much as possible from real-world experiences in humanitarian operations and logistics, disaster relief, emergency management, disease management, global health initiatives, international development, and other areas. This will be achieved through invited talks and panel sessions presented by current practitioners, including professional responders, service workers, and government officials.
