social issues

Proposals for presentations for the NMC Symposium for the Future, a special 2-day, live online event to be held October 27-29, 2009, are being solicited through September 14.  The Symposium, the fourteenth in the NMC’s Series of Virtual Symposia, will explore actual and potential applications of technology that could impact issues of global importance over the next five years and beyond. The applicability of technology — whether established or emerging — to the social, environmental, and educational challenges we face today is a central theme of the Symposium. Projects that test the applicability of new ideas, research into new solutions for global problems, and demonstrations of cutting-edge tools are all part of this exploration of the future.
