The goal of this cycle is to raise awareness on and promote the debate on digital culture among telecommunications students.
The “Nueva Cultura Digital (Nueva Cultura Digital)” Conference Cycle is the result of the recently signed agreement between the Telecommunications Engineers Association (Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación - COIT), and Fundación Telefónica, that bears witness to the motivation of both institutions towards education and training in subjects related to the use and usage of Information and Communication Technologies by society. It is the first Conference Cycle organized by Fundación Telefónica in collaboration with an institution such as the COIT.
This Conference Cycle is mainly aimed at students of universities offering telecommunications engineering programs. The lectures will be delivered by Juan Freire, Dolors Reig, and Roberto Carreras and will be held between 15 March and 30 May 2011.
This first cycle has been shown, during a first stage, at five Universities: the Higher School of Telecommunications Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, the Higher School of Telecommunications Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Malaga, the Engineering School of Seville, the Higher School of Telecommunications Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Zaragoza.
The general topic that will be addressed during the Cycle will be Digital Culture and its Impact on Society, with a special focus on how it affects citizens, cities, the administration and relationship models, creativity, companies, commerce, marketing, innovation, entrepreneurs, etc. and especially education and learning, knowledge in general, and issues that may aries in the new environment (intellectual property, etc.).
