The purpose of this meeting, which will be held on 26-27th November in Brussels, is to exchange experiences and solutions to development problems to generate discussion and learning between professionals and activists.
This year the title of the forum is «A decent life for all by 2030: Building a consensus for a new development agenda,» stressing the importance of reaching a commitment to overcome the remaining challenges of the Millennium Development Goals: the effective eradication of poverty and the guarantee of a sustainable development.
EHAS Foundation will participate with Fair World and UPC in the thematic focus «Science and Innovation for Development», one of the perspectives that are proposed to address challenges and opportunities for cooperation. Through the workshop «Wireless networks in rural areas: Supporting communication and telemedicine services», EHAS will show its researches deploying telecommunications networks to connect remote regions, such as the project of Wireless Technologies for rural areas –TUCAN3G– which is being developed currently with other 10 partners within the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission.
