SECEN had conducted a Research Project under HRD Exchange Program of APT (Asia-Pacific Telecommunity, Bangkok, Thailand) that was financed under the Extra-budgetary contribution from the Government of Japan in the year 2003-04. The study was conducted in joint collaboration with the Planning Department of NEPAL TELECOM and the Center for Information Technology (CIT) of Tribhuvan University. The study was titled “Applicability of Data Mining Tools for forecasting Prospects of e-Technology integration at the Multi-purpose Community Telecenter (MCT)”.
One major activity that SECEN had conducted every year since 2006 is the WTISD (World Telecommunication and Information Society Day). The ITU (International Telecommunication Union), which is the leading United Nations agency for information and communication technology, invites all stakeholders (policy makers, regulators, operators and industry) worldwide on this special day to formulate awareness and consensus on issues underlying the theme for the particular year.
SECEN has been actively playing an important role in organizing the programs and in finding experts to make presentations, interact and share knowledge with its members and participants from different sponsors. The WTISD themes in the past years were as follows:
2006: “Promoting Global Cyber Security”
2007: “Connecting the Young: the opportunities of ICT”
2008: “Connecting Persons with Disabilities: ICT Opportunities for All”
2009: “Protecting children in cyberspace”
2010: “Better city, better life with ICTs”
2011: “Better life in rural communities with ICTs”
2012: “Women & Girls in ICT”
2013: “ICTs and improving road safety”
