The ORBICOM network warmly congratulates Professor Etienne Damome, an active member of the network, on his appointment as Head of the UNESCO Chair in Emerging Practices in Technologies and Communication for Development, hosted by the University of Bordeaux Montaigne (France).

He succeeds Professor Alain Kiyindou, founder of the Chair, and continues the work undertaken to promote reflection on technologies and communication for development.

This appointment, recently made official by UNESCO, bears witness to his long-standing commitment to the fields of communication, media and development.

We wish him every success in his new role.
