NEST FORUM unites Aspirations for Education and Connectivity
The Networked Society Forum, NEST, hosted by Ericsson has wrapped up in Hong Kong, having sparked new inspiration among representatives from the public and private sectors to lift education on the global agenda.
NEST forum participants prioritized target areas for further collaboration to create the conditions to make learning available to everyone, everywhere. Topics covered during the two-day event included the way we teach and learn in a connected society, and how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can support that. Sharing across geographical and cultural boundaries is one concrete way ICT can contribute.
Sir Harold Kroto, a Nobel laureate in Chemistry and NEST Discussion Leader said, "We should inject the ideas of every brilliant teacher into every school if we can."
Hans Vestberg, President & CEO, Ericsson said. "There are immediate results to this gathering. One major accomplishment of our time together is that we have lowered the barriers. After this weekend I think we have come closer to experts in academia, the public sector and our industry colleagues to understand the challenges and opportunities before us."
