  2. Three sessions covered cybersecurity and trust services, GDPR with AI and intellectual property, and disinformation and media literacy \u2014 plus the launch of a Youth IGF MKD.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Moving from the foreign ministry to a university and spawning a youth wing, this was the consolidation year: a national IGF becoming an institution rather than a one-off event.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
