Please do take note that the IGF Secretariat has not yet opened
registration for IGF 2026. Registration is expected to open in
late July. While IGF registration will be required to
participate in IGF 2026, applicants will not be disadvantaged in
the DCAD fellowship selection process if registration has not
opened, or if they are not yet registered, by the fellowship
application deadline.
