Winter School 2017- Digital and the Everyday: From Codes to Cloud

Date: 11-12-2017 to 13-12-2017

Description: Winter School 2017- Digital and the Everyday: From Codes to Cloud by Center for IT and Public Policy was held at IIIT Bangalore from 11th-13th December 2017.

The Winter School adopted an interdisciplinary approach to unpack and analyse different elements of our digitally mediated social existence. The questions it raised were: What are the building blocks of these digital networks? Are they just a combination of software and hardware, or do they involve infrastructure, regulations, policy frameworks, institutional mechanism and much more?

This 3 day programme was attended by 22 participants from different disciplines and walks of life from within and outside Bangalore. The proceeding of this programme are now being delivered as a 4 week course on the NPTEL platform: https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc18_ge01/preview

CITAPP at IIIT Bangalore is an interdisciplinary think-tank set-up to focus on the policy challenges and the organizational demands made by technological innovation. Of particular interest to the Centre is how technological advances, along with institutional changes that harness the legitimacy and the powers of bureaucracies and market, address the needs of underserved communities.
