In light of the momentum generated by the newly-adopted sustainable development agenda, this year’s overarching theme is ‘Enabling Inclusive and Sustainable Growth.’ The sub-themes for the meeting will be determined in part by the workshop proposals received, with workshop proposers invited to write in their own tags, particularly on emerging and new issues, if not covered under the selection of tags provided. These include, but are not limited to, The Role of Internet and ICTs in Achieving the SDGs; Policies Enabling Access and the Digital Economy; Human Rights Online; Cybersecurity; Women and ICTs; and Critical Internet Resources; among many others.
All relevant information including the online proposal submission form, guidelines and tips for submitting proposals can be found below. Proposers are strongly encouraged to read through the 'Guidelines' and 'Considerations' documents before completing the proposal form. The deadline for submitting proposals is Monday 6 June.
