Econferencing

The Kule Institute has long been an advocate and supporter of virutal connectivity, championing econferencing as an ecologically important alternative to traditional, travel-heavy, academic events. With online environments for meetings and conferences now becoming the norm, we have created a hub of reference material aimed at assisting researchers and faculty working in online spaces.
