Thank you for your interest in the EuroAfrica-ICT (START) initiative. Kindly confirm
your participation in the Awareness Workshop to be held in Nairobi at the Hilton
Hotel by return email. This confirmation assists us in determining our numbers
in preparation for the workshop.
In order to facilitate contacts between European and sub-Saharan African organisations
interested in the development of cooperation projects in the ICT field, you are
invited to present a Proposal Idea (10 min on an ICT project idea you or your organisation
may have) at the workshop or an Expression of Interest (10 min about your organisation,
expertise, experience, etc) .
Please visit <A href="http://www.euroafrica-ict.org/index.html" target=_blank>http://www.euroafrica-ict.org/index.html</A> for the PowerPoint templates
and draft agenda. Should you require a template be emailed to you, please do not
hesitate to contact me. The deadline for submission of your presentation will be
July 12 and should be returned to <A href="mailto:rnaidoo@csir.co.za">rnaidoo@csir.co.za</A>. Selection will be made on
a "first come first serve" basis.
Attendance at the workshop is free and participants will need to make their own
travel and accommodation arrangements if required. Should you wish to stay at the
Hilton hotel, a negotiated rate at US $90 has been secured for workshop participants.
