NEUROTECHNOLOGIES FOR CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
The diffusion of systems and devices providing insight on the functioning of the brain, supporting with the restoration of lost cognitive functions, or enhancing cognitive capabilities has the potential of transforming learning, training, and capacity development.
The promotion of decent work through human-centred technology calls on professionals interested in neurotechnologies to familiarize themselves with currently available solutions, probe into use-cases and their functions, and design strategies for the ethical and innovative interactions of neurotechnologies, capacity development, and the world of work.
Examine how neurotechnologies and their digital transformative pathways may reshape the way we learn, teach, and train.
Jointly curated by the ITCILO, GESDA, and University of Turin, this course offers a deep dive into the world of neurotechnologies and their relevance to learning, training, and capacity development.
It situates neurotechnologies within the broader space of emerging technologies for the world of work.
It explores existing use-case applications and the hardware breakthroughs required to make these available at scale.
Grounded in the ILO approach of embracing and fostering human-centred technological innovations, this Masterclass also features dedicated video sessions on exploring the ethical implications for the large-scale deployment of neurotechnologies, minimizing or eliminating the risk of global digital divides cutting across North-South, urban-rural lines, and fostering inclusion.
Join our experts through a journey of insights and real-world examples on neurotechnologies and their business, technical, sustainability and ethical implications.
