Voice technologies

Dakar, Tuesday 18 June. A group of project parners from the VOICES-team showed the outcomes of the m-health pilot in Senegal to three EU project reviewers and the project officer, during a field visit to a laboratory that is part of the national network of laboratories (RNL) in Senegal. The results of the pilot were demonstrated in the local environment, by the health workers.

Tuesday 23 of April 2013 the final Conference of the m-Agro Knowledge Sharing pilot of the VOICES project was celebrated in Bamako, at the Azalaï Salam Hotel.

Currently, six students of the Computer Science Department at VU are doing research on VOICES and W4RA related topics. Friday 20 April, a mini-symposium, took place in the Intertainlab at VU Amsterdam, for those students involved in MSc. projects related to the VOICES project and other activities associated with “the Web for Warm Countries”. The goal of this meeting was for the students to inform each other about the current status of their research project and to sketch the bigger picture.

The VOICES-W4RA project was presented by Christophe Guéret and Anna Bon at IICD in The Hague during a seminar on 13 March 2012 before an audience of twelve project managers of "ICT for development" projects.
