CODEV 2015 Annual Report is here!

07.06.2016

Dear Reader,

2015 was yet another busy but productive year for CODEV! Take a look at our annual report to see what we have been up in the field of technologies for development.

You can also follow us on Facebook, Linkedin, YouTube, Twitter and Flickr!

Our flagship event, the UNESCO International Conference on Technologies for Development (4th edition) took place from May 2-4 2016 at the Swiss Tech Convention Center, gathering 460 attendees from 65 countries - researchers, representatives from NGOs, international organizations and the private sector - to address the guiding question on how we go from innovation to social impact.

Another highlight was the launch of the Humanitarian Tech Hub. Resulting of a partnership between the International Committee of the Red-Cross (ICRC) and EPFL, the Humanitarian Tech Hub has been designed for humanitarian actors, researchers and other players willing to mobilize cutting edge research to address today’s humanitarian challenges.

As always, we are available to answer all your questions at [email protected]. And should you have a great idea, we would love to hear from you…

We wish you a great summer
The CODEV Team
