ISTEC Four New ProgramsISTEC Four New Programs

ISTEC promotes scientific development by being sensitive to the region’s own cultural and social differences

Four Initiatives and Four new interdisciplinary programs: Information Communication Technologies for Social Development (ICTSD) Science and Technology Entrepreneurship for Economic Development (SEED) ISTEC-Salud GRANA

Bringing the benefits of technology to people everywhere…Promoting development of technology in developing countries



Information Communication Technologies for Social Development (ICTSD):

To Bridge the Digital Divide and build Partnerships for Sustainable Community Development and Empowerment through the use of Information Communication Technologies to promote social development.

It focuses on the development of Human Indigenous Networks and the use of ICT to support organizing efforts from the bottom-up. The objective of this program is to create strategic alliances between Indigenous Peoples, Multilateral organization, industry, and academia to promote social, economic, cultural, and political entrepreneurship to generate economic opportunities in marginalized communities.


ISTEC Four New ProgramsISTEC Four New Programs Information Communication Technologies for Social

Development (ICTSD):In New Mexico: La Plazita Institute is a community-based effort concerned with

the economic development of the Albuquerque South Valley Area by and for community members.

Network with Indigenous Peoples in the Region: Promote authentic sustainable opportunities for economic, educational, health and cultural practices for community development.

The objectives of this effort are: (1) to rebuild our community by maintaining and promoting social and cultural values through

education (2) to strengthen the local economy by providing business opportunities and encouraging

entrepreneurship (3) to nurture homegrown leadership and youth education for community empowerment (4) to create a sense of ownership in the community by promoting civic engagement and public service (5) to strengthen agricultural practices based on an Earth Centered Business Practices to maintain the

rural character of local NM communities.



Science and Technology Entrepreneurship for Economic Development (SEED)

The goal is to leverage ISTEC’s solid relationships and focus the program on a two-way exchange of S&T, human capabilities, capital, entrepreneurship, and product/service development

To generate economic development that helps all parties (WIN – WIN).

Incubation, start-ups, spin-offs Inclusion, Information Society, Knowledge, Diversity,

Multidisciplinary

Gridline – Gateway of the Americas



ISTEC-Salud: Was conceived in 2002/2003 by an international group of medical doctors, health workers, and engineers interested in

developing a collaborative program to share common experiences in the biomedical field. The objectives are not only medical in nature; rather, the program aims at developing a new interdisciplinary space that

integrates biomedicine, engineering, computer science, and other disciplines. The Project seeks sustainable technological solutions to improve medical/health care access for underserved

communities in the region, and to provide innovative ways to facilitate access to knowledge and services in these fields.



GRANA:

Was conceived as a program to aid ISTEC members and non-members in their process of accreditation/certification of undergraduate, graduate, and e-learning educational programs
