IGF 2018 Workshop Selection Results

The following is the result of the workshop review and selection process conducted by the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) for the 2018 programme. 

A total of 71 workshops have been approved. In light of the community’s comments, the MAG worked to reduce redundancy and increase cohesiveness in the programme. Hence, some proposals are requested to modify their duration, and those proposals which showed complementarity and synergy with one another are therefore asked to merge. Many of the merged workshops were requested by proposers, and we would like to thank them for their support.
