This year we have been kindly invited by Medetel to host the 3rd IWEEE workshop in Luxembourg. We are honoured and grateful to Medetel for the invitation, and there will be a special edition in Luxembourg

The slogan for this event is "Momentum", representing the rate of countries and organizations that are embracing free software to cover the educational and health needs of the population

IWEEE is a success. As an example, Paraguay has started the migration to free software their health regional regions ( Project Ñamo Pyahu ) after attending to the second IWEEE workshop. This is our goal and represents the mission of GNU Solidario : Providing Health and Education to the ones who need it most. Some of the issues to bring up front are :

  • Free software in the health sector
  • Current efforts and role of government on e-Health
  • e-Health on rural areas

IWEEE is not a pure technical conference. It will focus on the human factor and in raising awareness about the actual situation. We will discuss the tools that we can provide today to doctors and institutions to improve their habitants health and education

The workshop promotes Free Software as one of the main pillars for a sustainable framework for providing e-health and education for the developing and least developed countries

There will not be parallel conferences. All delegates will be able to assist and participate in the workshops that they find of interest. Communication among delegates is key

IWEEE is a non-profit event organized by the GNU SOLIDARIO association
