DESCRIPTION:2014 UNESCO International Conference on Technologies for Devel
 opment !Deadline: 25 May 2014\nInnovative technologies have a central role
  to play in the effort to alleviate poverty in this world. Innovative tech
 nology also means appropriate technology in the sense that it has to be so
 cially\, culturally\, environmentally and economically accepted by the sta

 or not a technology succeeds in its intended role to reduce poverty?\nThe

 4-6 June 2014 at the SwissTech Convention Center will focus on essential t
 echnologies and examine questions such as: What are the needs for essentia
 l technologies? What are successful processes to develop and deploy essent
 ial technologies? How can we evaluate the impact of technologies? How does
  impact measurement drive innovation?  The conference aims to bring toget
 her researchers\, decision-makers\, representatives from NGOs and internat
 ional organizations\, and the private sector eager to generate knowledge f
 ocusing on state-of-the-art technologies and their potential for the globa
