ESTICT are pleased to announce their second event, to be held in Edinburgh on Thursday 29th April 2010. The venue for the event is the centrally-located eScience Institute (NESC) at the University of Edinburgh.
Professor Jim Boyle from the University of Strathclyde is presenting a keynote with the intriguing title 'Truth, Lies and Voting Systems' and we have invited a number of speakers to talk on a wide variety of topics relating to Electronic Voting Systems and their innovative use. A voting question design workshop will investigate writing EVS questions for different pedagogic purposes.
