In order to provide an opportunity for face-to-face discussions and presentations, an additional GI conference has been decided to be held at TIIAME, Tashkent under the name GI 2021 “Supporting sustainable development by GIST” in 27-29 January, 2020, as a joint event with the Final Meeting.

Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, these events also had to be held online. TIIAME provided a Zoom platform for more than 500 registered participants. The presentations and discussions were translated into Uzbek, Russian and English by simultaneous interpreters.
