Technology Stewardship Workshop 2016

With support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and other partners, members of the research team conducted the latest technology workshop with 20 participants from the Department of Export Agriculture and the University of Peradeniya.

The two-day event was held at the DOEA's In-Service Training Centre in Matale, Sri Lanka.  Participants were trained in the principles and practices of technology stewardship, community engagement, rapid prototyping, and evaluation and assessment skills.

The workshop is part of an ongoing initiative to develop and test a technology stewardship training program and curriculum.  For more information about the program, please contact the project lead Dr. Gordon Gow.
