Hello,
On October 3-5, 2006, a three day meeting sponsored by UNESCO
will be held in order to examine the evidence that Diaspora
Knowledge Networks open up new perspectives for thinking through
the issue of migration and development. UNESCO’s programme on
International Migration has, as one of its goals, to strengthen
the capacity, sustainability and effectiveness of Diaspora
networks as a means of promoting “brain gain” through the use
of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The meeting
is part of a series of workshops aimed at designing an
infrastructure for computer supporting diaspora knowledge networks
(<http://www.dk-network.org/>) and publishing a book on the subject.
This initiative is part of the i-twinning of @lis program.

The meeting is an invitation only workshop: for more information,
please contact directly William Turner (<william.turner@limsi.fr>).
Best regards
Frédéric Sultan
