Technology, Innovation and Leadership 2001/02, by William George, former Medtronic CEO, case-study course about the management of the technology organised at EPFL
2001 - I participated in the organising of the celebration of "10 years of Internet in Poland" (see: http://www.internet10.pl). The Polish Internet began in 1991 at Faculty of Physics. I was the secretary of the Organising Committee.
In 1999 I organised Microsoft Authorised Academic Training Centre (AATC) at Warsaw University at Faculty of Physics. I provoked the settlement of AATC. Nowadays I teach administering of MS Windows NT 4.0 Server (courses #803 and #922) 1999/2000, and Ad ministering of MS Windows 2000 Server (courses #2151 and #2152) 2000/2001.
I delivered two lectures during IV Science Festival in Warsaw, September 15-24, 2000 entitled "How does the computer work - Solid State Physics at the and of the century (part I and II)" (see >http://www.icm.edu.pl/festiwal/program.html and http://www.icm.edu.pl/festiwal/opis122.html )
I was invited to participate in the Polish Radio BIS programme "The word after next 50 years - physics" (14.11.2000). I also gave the interview for Polish Radio One (PR1) in the programme "The Evening with Radio One" (16.11.2000) as the l aureate of the Domestic Fellowship for Young Scholars awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science (references; Maria Bobrowska PR1)
I attended, as a UNESCO expert and trainer, the International LINUX Workshop The Telematics And Networking Workshop, African Advanced Level Telecommunication Institute(AFRALTI) hold in Nairobi, Kenya, 9-20 August 1999. (references: see letter from Wojciech Jasiński, Charge d' Affaires in Polish Embassy in Nairobi )
1989-1995 I have organised 6 cruises over Mazurskie Lakes (5-6 boats). (references: my wife )
In addition to my scientific research I was also working on the Internet popularisation program, as a member of the Warsaw University project "Internet for Schools" (http://www.ids.edu.pl, unfortunetely - does not exist any more). In 1996 I wrote one of the first Internet handbooks published in Poland (see Trumpet Winsock (YES! Windows 3.0) and "Internet dictionary 1996", Eudora 1996 - e-mail client, Netscape Gold 1996 WWW browser, WS_FTP 1996 - FTP-client). These handbooks were distributed free of charge in schools connected to the Internet by the "Internet for Schools" project. In 1998 these handbooks were published in the magazine of the Polish Ministry of National Education "The Computer in the School".
1997-1999 I have organised (as the manager) the Education Department in Internet for Schools (IdS) and then in Internet Data Systems Sp. z.o.o (IDS). For instance in 1998 I've organised 2 weeks "Summer Internet IdS's school" for 1000 teachers from whole Poland.
At 1995 I was a webmaster (it was not so popular job that time!)
