Hi ICTD emerging scholars,

ICTD2013 are pleased to invite emerging scholars to submit a maximum
600-word abstract focusing on the theme, “ICT ecosystems in developing
countries.” Your abstract submission will be for the pre-conference ICTD
symposium (2-6 December 2013).

If you submit an abstract, your abstract will be peer-reviewed. Authors
of accepted abstracts will be notified to submit a full paper and you
will be invited to present the full paper at this symposium. Travel
scholarships will include your flight, accommodation, meals and
registration paid by ICTD2013.

You will have to submit an abstract for the symposium to get funding for
the two events (pre-conference and ICTD2013). You do not need to have a
paper accepted for ICTD2013, and you can present your ICTD paper at the
symposium if it concerns the theme of "ICT ecosystems". Preference will
be given to scholars from the global South.

Abstracts can be submitted to the Scholarships Committee online at:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14PGQuojtgmARjqyPe6BA_8ewbMqLeoev8yPQNRkXxwk/viewform.
