SIF is an invitation-only event. However, for SIF19 we are giving you the possibility to recommend someone with an interest in and knowledge of shrinking democratic space online who you believe should be invited.

Diversity is important for SIF. We are looking for participants from all over the world and from any possible interest group, be it industry, civil society, academia, the technical community or governments. Another important aspect is the gender balance.

We especially welcome suggestions for participants from low- and middle-income countries. In previous SIFs around half of the participants came from these countries. This is the ratio that we are aiming for this year as well. To make this possible, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) will fund travel costs and accommodation for participants from low and middle income countries. A global, inclusive, open and transparent debate is the only way forward.
