Sessions, Doctoral Consortium, Demos, & Pre-Published Papers The
international conference on Information and Communication Technologies and
Development (ICTD) is organized every 12-18 months, and brings together
researchers and practitioners working across domains, sectors, and
disciplines to study the role of ICT in social, political, and economic
development. First organized at the University of California Berkeley, USA,
in 2006, the tenth ICTD is scheduled to be held at the Indian Institute of
Management Ahmedabad, India, from January 4th to 7th, 2019. At the tenth
ICTD, or ICTD X at IIM Ahmedabad, the conference’s focus is on growing our
community to welcome researchers from related disciplines and
practitioners, and supporting young researchers of ICTD as they pursue
their research trajectories. Join us via any of the following tracks
below:OPEN SESSIONSOpen Sessions will welcome a variety of submissions and
formats. Submissions can include proposals for events such as panels,
workshops, design jams, and more, ideally fostering dialog and
participation from researchers and practitioners. The call for
participation is here: http://ictdx.org/open-sessions/
<http://ictdx.org/open-sessions/>DOCTORAL CONSORTIUMWe invite Ph.D.
students to present their research before fellow doctoral students and
experts, with the hope that this will support exchange of ideas, solicit
constructive feedback from experts, develop mentor-mentee relationships,
and expand collaborative research networks. The DC is an excellent
opportunity for young scholars to learn about the richly diverse ICTD
community as they develop their dissertation research. The call is here:
http://ictdx.org/doctoral-consortium/
<http://ictdx.org/doctoral-consortium/>DEMOSWe invite participants to
present ongoing projects, including researchers with significant field
components, practitioners seeking community feedback, or developers with
early stage prototypes. Demos should offer insights to real-world problems
and/or solutions, and can include hardware, software, or physical
artifacts. The call for participation is here: http://ictdx.org/demos/
<http://ictdx.org/demos/>PRE-PUBLISHED PAPERSWe invite papers accepted for
publication at other venues over the preceding year and a half (from Jan.
1, 2017 through July 15, 2018), so that ICTD attendees can benefit from
conversations happening outside the conference. Inclusion of these papers
into the conference program will depend on relevance to the program and
availability of slots. Accepted papers will be invited for an oral
presentation. The call for participation is here:
