Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the international Advisory Board, I would like to inform you of the:
SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TECHNOLOGY, KNOWLEDGE AND SOCIETY
University of Basque Country, Spain
25-27 March 2011
http://www.Technology-Conference.com
We are pleased to host the Technology Conference in 2011 at the University of Basque Country in Bilbao, Spain. One of Spain’s most important economic centers, Bilbao has several key industrial sectors including aeronautics, electronics and information technology. Bilbao has also recently undergone an urban resurgence; the most noticeable on its skyline is the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum.
This conference will address a range of critically important themes in the various fields that address the complex and subtle relationships between technology, knowledge and society. The conference is cross-disciplinary in scope, meeting points for technologists with a concern for the social and social scientists with a concern for the technological. The focus is primarily, but not exclusively, on information and communications technologies.
Scheduled activities include plenary presentations by accomplished researchers, scholars and practitioners, as well as numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed International Journal of Technology, Knowledge and Society. If you are unable to attend the conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic Journal.
Whether you are a virtual or in-person presenter at this conference, we also encourage you to present on the Conference YouTube Channel. Please select the Online Sessions link on the conference website for further details. We also invite you to join us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Technology-Knowledge-Society/119564541396695 and Twitter http://twitter.com/techandsoc.
