"Technology for Humanitarian Action"
What happens when you bring together top researchers and scientists to examine how their hi-tech solutions can make life better for the poorest people in the low-tech underdeveloped world? They get tremendously excited; want to create a new curriculum, Technology and Humanitarian Aid; and are anxious to visit aid projects to see how their technologies can be adapted to help people.

An extraordinary gathering of friends and colleagues of Sergio Vieira de Mello, UN envoy to Iraq killed in the August 19 blast at UN headquarters in Baghdad, paid tribute to him on December 8, 2003, in an all-day high-level symposium that examined the future of humanitarian action following that watershed tragedy.
