Pop!Tech provides a space for innovative thinkers in various fields - including science, technology, design, public health, social and ecological innovation, and the arts and humanities - to get together and exchange provocative and challenging ideas, with the idea of using the most "genuinely disruptive, unconventional approaches" to promote real change. One example of an outcome is Project Masiluleke which aims to use mobile technology to fight HIV and TB in South Africa. Videocasts of the lectures are organised according to category and are also available on iTunes.

This piece on Polish Cinema of the Silent Era gives an overview of early film practitioners in Poland; another piece considers the mind-boggling difficulties and the human cost of translating Finnegans Wake into Polish, one of only ten languages to have its own version of Joyce’s magnum opus.
