WSIS Results
Plan of Action:Vision and principles of the Declaration translated into concrete action lines
to advance the achievement of the internationally-agreed development goals, such as the Millennium Declaration, the Monterrey Consensus and the Johannesburg Declaration and Plan of Implementation
The Information Society envisaged in the Declaration of Principles will be realized in cooperation and solidarity by governments and all other stakeholders Plan of Action is thus an evolving platform to promote the Information Society at the national, regional and international levels
Private Sector and Civil Society both seen as equally important for bridging the Digital Divide

Role of Science in the Information Society
RSIS was a WSIS Summit Event held at CERN in Geneva, on 8-9 December 2003
To emphasise Role of Science in the Information Society and to express the voice of the scientific community to WSIS
Organised by UNESCO, CERN, International Council of Science Unions and Third World Academy of Science____________
A definition of the "information society": The term "IS" covers the acquisition, storage, processing, transmission, distribution and use of information and knowledge.

Why RSIS: Goals and Challenges
Millennium GoalsTarget 18: In cooperation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies, especially in information and communications
Kofi Annan's Challenge to Scientists:Address the clear inequalities in scientific activities between rich and poor, developed and less developed, act to overcome the Digital Divide
Adamo Samassekou's request to WSIS and Scientists: Solidarity Global Cooperation North South, South South

Hans F Hoffmann/ CERN; Lishep BR; Feb 2004 7
Why RSIS: Knowledge Society
Science is an acknowledged process to transform data to information to knowledge
Ordered into context, reduced to essentials and validated, curated Information becomes Knowledge
Knowledge offers the capacity to act, the potential to get something going
Basic Knowledge is a Public Good
Science is a Public Good underpinning the Information Society

Hans F Hoffmann/ CERN; Lishep BR; Feb 2004 12
Key Messages from RSISEducation:
consensus that education is needed for development, a role for South-South cooperation, ICTs are essential;
Health: ICTs can help in priority public-health areas (safe water, …), capacity-building, telemedicine;
Environment: planners and decision makers need accurate and timely information, North-South collaboration essential to ensure access to data
Economic Development: open-source software should be made available, exchange and use of scientific data could be a model for society;
Enabling Technologies: scientists should engage in policy arena and define projects with clear benefits, e.g., networks, knowledge depositories, grids, etc.

RSIS Guidelines
Scientific information should be freely available
Software tools for distribution should also be freely available
Networking infrastructure should be established world-wide
Training of people, equipment should be provided in host nations
General education is basic for Information Society

The Crisis of Culture andScience in the
Information Age
Lack of Cultural Heritage on the Web
The bulk of information which forms the coreof cultural heritage is largely excluded from the information system constituting the backbone of an ever-more knowledge-based world.

The Implementationof the Vision
The Berlin Declaration
“In order to realize the vision of a global and accessible representation of knowledge, the future Web has to be sustainable, interactive, and transparent. Content and software tools must be openly accessible and compatible.”“Our organizations are interested in the further promotion of the new open access paradigm to gain the most benefit for science and society.”

Education in the Era of
Information Technology
• World-wide access to enormous resources (courseware, data sets, libraries, museums, people …).
• Virtually instantaneous visual, video, audio communications. Participation!
• Dramatic improvements in technology are occurring at astonishing rates.
• It is not expensive now and is getting cheaper every day. Robert Eisenstein, Santa Fe Institute
