University Collaborations

IITEDA hosts the ICITED conference series, bringing together academics and policy researchers to present empirical work on technology in developing economies.

Annual ICITED conferences bring together scholars from across the Global South and partner institutions. Details for upcoming events will be announced on this website.

The University of Calabar and the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have previously partnered with us in international knowledge sharing under the auspices of ICITED.

▸ Introduction

Who We Are

IITEDA is a global academic association dedicated to policy-grounded research at the intersection of information technology and economic development in regions where that intersection is most consequential.

Partner universities supply regional context. The scholarship stays honest to the ground it studies — rigorous cross-border collaboration without the conference-circuit detachment.
