The meeting is taking place at
Havana’s Convention Center through Friday with the presence of over
500 professionals from 20 countries, the largest participation since
the first event of this kind was held in 1988, said the president of
the organizing committee Carmen Sanchez Rojas.
Topics being discussed include
information services, international literacy campaigns, information
policies and technologies, and quality and assessment of information
sources, among others.
The program also includes an
International Workshop on Business Intelligence and Knowledge
Management that was first held in Havana in 2000 and later in Brazil
(2004) and Venezuela (2006).
The event opened on Monday with the lecture “The Role of Technology
on the Society of Knowledge” by Cuban Deputy Minister of Informatics
and Communication Boris Moreno Cordoves, followed by “The Society of
Knowledge and Its Challenges”, by the director of postgraduate
education at the University of Havana, Jorge Nuñez Jover.
This kind of conference has been held
uninterruptedly every other year since 1988. In 1990, Cuba hosted
the 45th Congress and the Conference of the International Federation
for Information and Documentation (FID) and, since that first
experience Cuba has been the venue for the 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999
2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 editions.
