UR Challenge
The Contest
This year Amsterdam will host WITSA’s 17th World Congress on Information Technology in the Netherlands. WCIT2010 is without a doubt the premier event where business leaders, public officials and opinion leaders from all global regions come together to share and build a vision of a connected planet with access for all. IT as enabler for economic growth will be the main topic on the agenda for WCIT2010. WCIT 2010 is developed around the central theme ‘Challenges of Change’. This ‘challenge’ reflects the sense of urgency that is felt by politicians, policy makers, companies and citizens, all seeking for ways to provide IT a prominent role in the current economic crisis and the economic recovery package in Europe and in the rest of the world.
Upload Your Challenge of Change
We ask IT-students around the world to share their own challenge of change. And by doing, this contribute to a better world by using IT. It’s up to you to decide what is really important. So what’s your Challenge of Change? And which IT solutions do you see?
Do you think your ideas make sense? Make a one minute videoclip and upload it to YouTube. Tag your upload with ‘shareURchallenge’ and include your e-mail address in the description. It doesn’t matter if your photo or video looks like a Picasso or the newest Hollywood movie. Anything goes! We are in search of great IDEAS or SOLUTIONS and not necessarily a new master piece.
The four best international uploads are invited to WCIT2010 to present their personal Challenge of Change. At WCIT2010, students and professionals will focus on these challenges and their potential IT solutions. At the end of WCIT, a winning challenge will be selected by the jury. The winner can ‘Grab the Tulip’ of opportunity and really make a change by presenting their case to the WCIT2010 delegates, who can ‘bid’ on the follow-up on the solution!
