SUMMARY:Digital Development Debates 2018
DESCRIPTION:Digital Development Debates 2018: Germany, a digitally less dev
 eloped country?\n\n\n\nPaying with a mobile phone, free Wi-Fi in public tra
 nsport or online access to government services - what other countries have 
 been offering for years is far from nationwide implementation in Germany. W
 hy are we lagging behind? What are the reasons for Germany’s slow pace digi
 tal development?\n\n\n\nBe it in education, in infrastructure or in digital
  policy structures – even after years of embarrassingly low ranks OECD repo
 rts for one of Europe's richest countries, Germany is still by many seen as
  too hesitant. .\n\n\n\nIn connection with the INFORMATIK 2018 conference i
 n Berlin you are invited to attend a two-day conference about the current s
 tate of digitalization in Germany. We have invited speakers from Brazil, Rw
 anda and China to learn about digital strategies that have received interna
 tional attention and recognition. And we hope they can offer some inspirati
 on for Germany’s digital development pathway.\n\n\n\nOn Thursday afternoon,
  September 27, 2018 we will open the conference with a keynote by Luana Bor
 ges from Brazil. The keynote will be followed by brief impulse to lead into
  a panel discussion with our three international guests accompanied by thre
 e German representatives (t.b.d.)\n\n\n\nThe following day, September 28, 2
 018, will consist of two more keynotes, followed by a workshop session that
  aims map out some of the lessons learned by our international guests and d
 efine potential action items for Germany.\n\n\n\nThe conference language wi
 ll be in English, entrance is free.\n\n\n\nPlease register at https://www.e
 ventbrite.de/e/digital-development-debates-germany-tickets-47885057496 by S
 eptember 20 to make sure that we have enough chairs and pretzels available.
