Innovation and Technology in Rule of Law Programming

May 9, 2018.

    Enforcement, Engagement, and E-Governance
    Questions about the promises and dangers of technology have recently dominated headlines—but less often covered are the stories of practitioners and start-ups leveraging their know-how to build peace. On May 31, the Justice Sector Training, Research and Coordination Program and the U.S. Institute of Peace will host a symposium to tackle the difficult questions of how technology can be used to strengthen rule of law, security, community engagement, and relationships between states and the people they serve in developing and conflict-affected areas.
    DETAILS
    Date: Thursday, May 31, 2018
    Time: 9:00am - 4:30pm
    Location:

    2301 Constitution Ave, NW,

    Join us for a series of expert panels on technology and rule of law, and an exciting networking session with local entrepreneurs that are driving technology forward to meet peacebuilders' needs.
