The e-Development Seminar Series strives to provide a comprehensive program covering core e-development concepts in the context of regional, country specific and thematic seminars. The primary objective of these seminars is to equip operational Bank staff and our country clients with the knowledge necessary for designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating e-development projects and components. Presenters are identified among leading specialists within the World Bank but also from the outside. When appropriate, videoconferencing allows for participation from multiple World Bank offices and external sites and presentations from locations other than Washington DC. Live and archived webcasts also help expand our audience. As of July 15, 2008 the e-TG delivered or co-sponsored over 120 ICT related seminars, including over 60 multi-country videoconferences and 5 major training workshops. You can access all of these events and videos here, and indexed videos are also available here.
Knowledge Partnership and Participation Opportunities The majority of our events are open for participation by interested organizations or individuals (unless they are specifically targeted for internal World Bank audience). We welcome the broadest possible participation in person in Washington DC or any other location connected via videoconference or via live webcast/online discussion. Interested parties can subscribe to our mailing list to receive updates and event invitations (to subscribe or for more information about the upcoming events, send an email to edevelopment@worldbank.org). We also welcome global, regional and country-level partnerships with all interested parties on delivering our Global, Regional and Country Dialogue seminars and on related knowledge sharing, packaging and dissemination activities. The partnerships can take various forms, from co-branding and marketing to co-sponsorships and intellectual contributions.
