Towards knowledge societies: UNESCO world report
The UNESCO World Report on knowledge societies for all has been released at a crucial moment. After the achievements of the first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society, there is fresh international interest in the growth and development paradigm that bears within it the idea of “knowledge societies”. We are witnessing the emergence of a need for clarification of its aims as a project of society. This is the challenge that the UNESCO World Report intends to address on the eve of decisive international meetings.

Information Society in the 21st Centaury: A requisite for development
The Spanish State Secretariat of Telecommunications and for the Information Society impelled the publication titled "Information Society in century XXI: a requirement for development", supporting the Spanish contribution to the World Summit on Information Society. Two volumes were produced with the contribution of experts from civil society and private sector and the content evolves from the two issues (e-learning and e-inclusion) dealt with in volume 1 (presented in Geneva  in December 2003),  to the seven issues of volume 2 (presented in Tunis in November 2005).
