Trialogue #1: "Digital Africa" with Gilles Babinet

At the Velge Auditorium, IHECS, rue de l’Étuve 60, 1000 Brussels
23 March 2016 at 6pm

The event has been cancelled because of the March 22 attacks in Brussels.
We are looking for another date. More information coming in the next weeks.

Does the digital transition in Africa take on the same cultural face as elsewhere? To what extent does it modify the economic structures created following independence? What place does it occupy in digital globalisation? In what languages are this communication and these virtual exchanges expressed, and who are the new players?
