It illustrates the use of technologies for development in various fields of research, such as humanitarian action, medical and information and communication technology, disaster risk-reduction technologies, habitat and sustainable access to energy. The authors discuss how innovative technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles for disaster risk reduction, crowdsourcing humanitarian data, online education and ICT-based medical technologies can have significant social impact. The book brings together the best papers of the 2016 International Conference on Technologies for Development at EPFL, Switzerland. The book explores how the gap between innovation in the global South and actual social impact can be bridged. It fosters exchange between engineers, other scientists, practitioners and policy makers active at the interface of innovation and technology and human, social, and economic development. 606 $aSustainability 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBioremediation 606 $aMedical policy 606 $aSustainability 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology 606 $aHealth Policy 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aBioremediation. 615 0$aMedical policy. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aHealth Policy. 676 $a338.927 686 $aMED036000$aSCI026000$aTEC010000$aTEC031010$2bisacsh 700 $aHostettler$b Silvia$4edt$01061758 702 $aHostettler$b Silvia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNajih Besson$b Samira$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBolay$b Jean-Claude$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910293142503321 996 $aTechnologies for Development$93361764 997 $aUNINA
