In early 90-ties Predrag Pale spent 12 years building Croatian Internet but was focusing all the time on applications, rather on technology itself. From the very beginning he was involved in transformation of libraries and scientific publishing through planning, financing, supporting and architecting various national large projects related to scientific publishing. He is a pioneer in knowledge management and using ICT for education. In his public lectures he tries to provoke audience to question yesterday and today and to think beyond tomorrow.
