TechLearnTalk - An Introduction to Open Source

This session of our TechLearnTalks series explores open source, the opportunities and risks associated with it, and how it can be used for the work of the UN. In this session, we are joined by speakers from the UNICEF for a non-technical introduction to open source and from ITU for an example of how ITU is supporting governments to leverage open source and how the UN is coming together around it. TechLearnTalks, which introduce technologies to a non-technical audience, aim to demystify a range of new technologies, such as blockchain, metaverse, predictive analytics, and VR, and showcase how they can be leveraged for the work of the UN.
