ICT4D

Stockholm University will run a Master's program in ICT for development during 2010. The programme is intended for students and top-level or mid-level administrators and executives who would like to broaden and deepen their knowledge of ICT, its management and application to the developing world.

Students from outside the EU/EEA should apply no later than January 15th, 2010 and students from the EU/EEA apply no later than April 15th, 2010.

Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) is about supporting poor and marginalized communities to make use of ICTs to improve the quality of their lives. Wisely used, ICT is an important tool for socioeconomic development and ultimately poverty reduction; it strengthens democracy and transparency, empowers people to make their own decisions and increases income by giving unprivileged people access to essential market information and new opportunities.
