Welcome to the newly formed Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) Seminar!

The ICT4D Seminar is an interdisciplinary venture at Penn to bring together researchers, students, and leaders from all sectors interested in better understanding the role that ICTs play in international development, and the impact that they have on impoverished and under-resourced communities.

Through the Seminar’s flagship activity, the Speaker Series, we will bring together noted researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the ICT4D field, providing a venue for the Penn community to explore this important area of work.

This seminar series is being sponsored by the Penn Provost’s Interdisciplinary Seminar Fund, the Annenberg School for Communication, the Graduate School of Education (International Educational Development Program), the School of Engineering And Applied Sciences, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the Perelman School of Medicine.
