Introduction
One of the fundamental aims of FUNREDES is to promote the
formation and organisation of the users of the NICT. This should be realized in a
form which permits them to take responsable control over technology and to
participate in the management of technological solutions. This objective implies the demythologization
of technologies and the understanding of their sociological and human impacts.
Therefore all our proyects include one important
component of formation and capacity aspects with access to the NICT. The aim is to give
the users the full and consciousness profit
of its potential human and social development.
In our development projects and in our projects to
strengthen the networks of investigation the
following aspects have the most importance:
- the sensitiveness of the different levels of
decision-taking.

- the support of the users: their system and documentation,
- the formation of teachers
- the formation of information specialists
