World 2009 e-Health, empowering the disabled, all that is green

Looking for the new, the different, the global, the cultured, the inspiration? Think ITU's World 2009. Here are a few of the absolutely enabling and empowering learning experiences and opportunities for business and technical development at ITU's World 2009 scheduled for Oct 5-9, 2009 in Geneva, Switzerland.

e-Health Pavilion - WHO

Empowering People with Disabilities through ICTs - UNESCO
About 10 per cent of the world’s population has a disability of one form or another. While their living conditions vary, these people are united in one common experience – being exposed to various forms of discrimination and social exclusion. Even in the absence of a well-coordinated and well-planned infrastructure, ICTs can offer people with disabilities new opportunities to compensate for physical and functional limitations, access knowledge by adapting media to their impairment, and enhance social and economic integration.

Green@ICT - WMO
Green@ICT showcases how greening the ICT industry and using ICT to green other industries, not only helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also makes good business sense. Green is lean in today’s hard economic times. It reduces operating expenditures, gives good returns on capital expenditures and offers new competitive positioning in today’s tough marketplace. With the upcoming Copenhagen Conference as a followup to the Kyoto meeting on Climate Change, the time has come for important decisions and innovations to truly make a difference.

Transport & Access: A Standards Showcase - ITU
Examining optical transport and access infrastructures, in order to help operators maximize network capacity is central to the standardization work of ITU. From standards for DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) to PON (Passive Optical Networking) or WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing), ITU has been responsible for the development of core transport and access standards in wide use today.
