该奖项将支持波多黎各大学的威尔逊·里维拉博士和智利大学的亚历杭德罗·乔夫雷博士同时组织的两个研讨会。其中一个讲习班将讨论新兴计算趋势--公用事业计算和数字出版，重点是支持以服务为中心的计算和端到端富媒体基础设施的新兴研究。另一个讲习班将讨论信息社会中的妇女--确保她们充分参与拉丁美洲的工作。这些活动将有助于制定一项行动计划，以便在两个小组之间建立合作。这些活动将为从专家到社区最新成员的实地人员提供一个论坛，以探讨成像和印刷技术领域新出现的研究，第二期讲习班将特别侧重于如何改善拉丁美洲妇女获得和利用信息和通信技术的情况。

One workshop will be on the topic of emerging computing trends - utility computing and digital publishing, focusing on emerging research enabling service-centric computing and end-to-end media rich infrastructures. The other workshop will be on women in the information society - ensuring their full participation in Latin America. These activities will help in the design of a plan of action to establish collaborations between the two groups. These activities will provide a forum for those in the field, from experts to the newest members of the community, to explore emerging research in the field of imaging and printing technologies and the second workshop will specifically focus on how to improve women's access to and use of information and communication technologies in Latin America.
