Diplo/GIP booth (All week) Village Square

The DiploFoundation/Geneva Internet Platform (GIP) booth in the IGF2014
Village Square will present dynamic illustrations explaining basic IG
concepts. Join us for news and updates on major Diplo projects (GIP, IGF
data mining, capacity development activities, the FP7-funded MAPPING
project). A limited number of IG books and other materials, including a
glossary of IG terms will be available; the latter is a ready reference
tool for newcomers and oldtimers alike, as we navigate the labyrinth of
acronyms and abbreviations in IG.

GIP and Diplo alumni and fellows will be available to offer an overview of
capacity building possibilities in blended, online, just-in-time, and in
situ formats, as well as other new Diplo projects. The Diplo booth is also
a traditional meeting place for Diplo alumni and friends.
