Presentation

Teledialogue is a combined research and design project instigated by KORA (Det Nationale Institut for Kommuners og Regioners Analyse og Forskning) and researchers from the STS and PIT research centres at Aarhus University in collaboration with eight Danish municipalities.

The project is funded by the Velux Foundation and has been underway since 2012 and was officially launched in late 2013.

So, what is it all about?

Well, in recent years, a range of initiatives have risen to develop and empower the world's poorest people and regions through information technologies.

National governments, development agencies, NGOs, the UN and a range of other actors see the transfer and redistribution of IT as a central element in turning socio-economic polarisation—sometimes presented as a growing digital divide—into socio-economic convergence.
