CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPATION

THREE YEARS LATER AND GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONAL REVAMP

(PROJECTS AND DIRECTIONS)

(actual theme and venue to be specified soon)

Our objectives in this post-COVID-19 period are both ambitious and realistic.

1- Fair and equal access to education via the use and teaching of first languages, and one (or two) international language(s) opening onto the world in the process of globalization, we hope within diversity.

2- Availability of all economic, social, cultural (including philosophy and religion), artistic, etc. data for all in at least one international language for each person, hence several for many persons, and the existence of precise and trustworthy translating means to provide the data in the first language of every person concerned.

3- Mass development of translating procedures and machines that guarantee fair and open translation that rejects any implicit or explicit bias or selective discrimination.

4- Mass development of new teaching and communicational techniques centered on 5G (6G), Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Learning with the absolute proviso these machines do not take over human initiative, control, and intellectual property.

Based on these orientations of ours, we would like to enter an exchange of ideas and means to reach as many researchers as possible (both applied and theoretical, the two not being in any way antagonistic or mutually exclusive) who could be interested in our project.

We follow a simple timeline.

1- Get our project out directly and within collaborative cooperation with partners.

2- Enable workgroups to settle with concrete objectives in any field concerned.
