Agenda
Open knowledge environment (OKE) will play critical role in bridging digital divide for innovative research and development. The progresses during the last half decade have demonstrated that the joint action with the cross boundary and disciplinary methodology is the most efficient way for establishing an OKE in developing countries. Chinese Association for Science and Technology (CAST) is the largest national non-governmental organization of scientific and technological workers in China. Through its member societies - nearly 200 in number - and local branches all over the country, the organization maintains close ties with millions of Chinese scientists, engineers and other people working in the fields of science and technology. CCIT/CAST works with the e-SDDC UNDESA-GAID, CODATA TGDC and WGISS/CEOS to domo experiences and show cases how OKE supports the innovative research and development. The workshop will also identify new challenges in OKE in bridging digital divide.
