ž½ó%Ÿ¨About our efforts in RomaniaŸ n In Romanian academic environmentthe ICTP seminaries on networking and radio-propagation had a powerful impactdue to the traditional connections established between ICTP and the institutes from Magurele Platform of Physics. More researchers from different institutes participated to different ICTP seminaries.
The Abdus Salam ICTP Programme of Training and System Development on Networking and Radiocommunications was highly appreciated as an important source of expertiseoffering multiple solutions in technological domains as telecommunications and information technologywith high potential to reduce the gap between the communication infrastructures of developed and developing countries.

The growth of the ICT poses the challenge of providing developing countries with an adequate way to be linked with the rest of the world to avoid the risk of being cut out from main stream of information flow.
The academic community is the obvious starting point for these efforts that will permeate to the rest of society.
It is recognized that the underlying problem is the lack of sufficient well qualified human resources able to handle the new systems and technologies.

Carried out Intensive Training Activities for scientists from developing countries
Established a Programme of Training and System Development on Networking and Radiocommunications with the collaboration of the United Nations University.
Both radio technology and computer networking have been used to facilitate the access of ICT to academic institutions in developing countries.¡6X·" =èþï¶Ø=èþ‘·" =èþE9Rbª,¹4ËóŸ¨!Training Activities (milestones)Ÿ¨¼ 1989 -1st College on Theoretical and Experimental Radiopropagation Physics ( first of a series of biannual Colleges on the same topic)

This is even more so as information related economic activities are growing.
Information and communication technology support the central nervous system of complex societiestransmitting and processing information and commands among the various parts of such societies.
Internet plays a fundamental function in ICT role¡ÂÂóŸ¨Benefits from ICTŸ¨¢ Benefits from ICT could be obtained in:
Education
Job training
Health care
Food security
Environment management
Government efficiency
Specifically in Science and Technology because:
*Speed-up dissemination of scientific results world- wide through scientific knowledge sharing and exchange
* Allows to set up of Virtual Labs for communications and remote instrument control¡„*ÿ" dZ_ZZ(_1說Ù# óŸ¨Rapid evolution of ICTŸ vPredictions indicate:
doubling of computing power every 18 24 months
doubling of communications power every 6 months
huge reductions in costs
massive increases in speed and quantity.
In 2001 more information was sent over
a single cable in a second than in 1997 was sent

The growth of the ICT poses the challenge of providing developing countries with an adequate way to be linked with the rest of the world to avoid the risk of being cut out from main stream of information flow.
The academic community is the obvious starting point for these efforts that will permeate to the rest of society.
It is recognized that the underlying problem is the lack of sufficient well qualified human resources able to handle the new systems and technologies.
¡ŒZé·" =èþZZϪ,×v›óŸ¨The action at the CentreŸ¨× To contribute to the expansion of ICT in developing countries the Abdus Salam ICTP :
Carried out Intensive Training Activities for scientists from developing countries
Established a Programme of Training and System Development on Networking and Radiocommunications with the collaboration of the United Nations University.
Both radio technology and computer networking have been used to facilitate the access of ICT to academic institutions in developing countries.¡6X·" =èþï¶Ø=èþ‘·" =èþE9Rbª,¹4ËóŸ¨!Training Activities (milestones)Ÿ¨¼ 1989 -1st College on Theoretical and Experimental Radiopropagation Physics ( first of a series of biannual Colleges on the same topic)

ž½ó%Ÿ¨About our efforts in RomaniaŸ n In Romanian academic environmentthe ICTP seminaries on networking and radio-propagation had a powerful impactdue to the traditional connections established between ICTP and the institutes from Magurele Platform of Physics. More researchers from different institutes participated to different ICTP seminaries.
The Abdus Salam ICTP Programme of Training and System Development on Networking and Radiocommunications was highly appreciated as an important source of expertiseoffering multiple solutions in technological domains as telecommunications and information technologywith high potential to reduce the gap between the communication infrastructures of developed and developing countries.

The growth of the ICT poses the challenge of providing developing countries with an adequate way to be linked with the rest of the world to avoid the risk of being cut out from main stream of information flow.
The academic community is the obvious starting point for these efforts that will permeate to the rest of society.
