Fourth-year doctoral student Martin Hilbert, who previously worked at the United Nations Regional Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, will give the keynote speech at an event organized by the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México in Mexico City.
The Oct. 28 event, called Seminario de Perspectivas Tecnológicas 2011: “México, TIC´s y Sociedad del Conocimiento,” includes government officials and leaders in the private sector. The university chose Hilbert to speak based on his recently published work in Telecommunications Policy titled "The end justifies the definition: The manifold outlooks on the digital divide and their practical usefulness for policy-making."
