Sixth International Conference on Technology
|
|
|
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Advisory Board, we
would like to inform you of the:
SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
TECHNOLOGY, KNOWLEDGE AND SOCIETY
Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany
15-17 January 2010
http://www.Technology-Conference.com
Berlin, today, has great influence
within the realms of science,
technology, commerce, architecture
and the arts. No other region in
Europe has such a rich concentration
of scientific, academic and research
facilities, as does Berlin.
Adlershof, a district of Berlin, has
become one of the world's 15 largest
science and technology parks and is
named the 'City for Science,
Technology and Media'. The focal
points of Berlin's research span the
depths of medical technology,
biotechnology, information and
communications technology, optical
technology, material sciences and
transportation and environmental
technologies. Showing testament to
the quality of this very research,
one of the products of Berlin's
research, a digital film recorder,
received an Oscar for technical
innovation at the 2002 Academy
Awards in Hollywood. At the heart of
the recorder, a new
frequency-stabilized laser diode,
was the creation of the Ferdinand
Braun Institute for Highest
Frequency Technology. Of additional
significance, the Max Born Institute
for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse
Spectroscopy generated the world's
shortest light pulse (used to
examine ultra-fast chemical
processes and primary biological
procedures), with a duration of only
3.8 femto seconds - another tribute
to Berlin's thriving technological
research.
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.
The Conference includes 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.
The deadline for the next round in
the call for papers (a title and
short abstract) is 13 August 2009.
Future deadlines will be announced
on the Conference website after this
date. Proposals are reviewed within
two weeks of submission. Full
details of the Conference, including
an online proposal submission form,
are to be found at the Conference
website -
http://www.Technology-Conference.com
We look forward to receiving your
proposal and hope you will be able
to join us in Berlin in January
2010.
Yours Sincerely,
Karim Gherab Martin
Visiting Research Scholar
Harvard University, Cambridge, USA
For the Advisory Board,
International Conference on
Technology, Knowledge and Society
and The International Journal of
Technology, Knowledge and Society
