His main field of interest is twofold. On one hand — and due to a personal philosophy
of life — the aspects related with Information and Communication Technologies for Development
(ICT4D): e-Readiness, the Digital Divide, ICTs in cooperation for development, nonprofit
technology, online volunteering, e-Inclusion. On the other hand — and due to a professional
engagement in the field — the aspects related with e-Learning and empowerment: digital
capacity building and literacy, e-Portfolios, Open Access, Open Science, Access to Knowledge. When
both ends meet, the conjunction is perfect.
Founding member and director for five years of UOC’s cooperation for development
