| dc.description.abstract |
Through the use of ISABEL video conferencing software to host virtual events and provide the related services that would be part of an event where participants are physically present, partners in the GLOBAL project (Global Linkage Over BroadbAnd Links) are researching the enabling of communication, dissemination, collaboration and networking with colleagues and conferences where location becomes irrelevant. UbuntuNet Alliance, the African regional Research and Education Network is a partner in this EUFP7 Research Project which brings together research teams in Europe, Asia and Africa.
The paper describes the project, the opportunities the GLOBAL project may provide and the unique constraints and opportunities for UbuntuNet Alliance through its participation. |
