The Mallorcan Council presents the Observatory of the Information Society

The president of the Consell de Mallorca, Maria Antònia Munar, presented last February 12 the Observatori Permanent de la Societat de la Informació, at the headquarters of the Cámara de Comercio. The initiative, promoted by the insular institution and the Balearic University, (UIB), intends to offer proposals aimed at developing the new information technologies.

The professor of the UIB, Llorenç Valverde participated in the presentation. The rector of the university, Llorenç Huguet and the excouncillor for Energy of the Balearic Government Misericordia Ramon were also present, and this was the last official act that she attended before presenting her resignation as councillor last Thursday, February 15.

The initiative joins other similar ones that are being carried out by different administrations: Pla BIT Segle XXI, by the Balearic Government; INFO XXI, by the Spanish government; e-Europe, by the European Union.

At the end of last year, MallorcaWeb proposed in the space Debate-poll the following question: Do the institutions give enough support to the information society? The 'No' won clearly with 83% of the votes. On this page the opinions expressed at that time can be consulted.
