Update on T20 Policy Brief Abstracts and Opportunity for Further Engagement

The co-convenors of T20 South Africa extend their sincere gratitude to all authors who submitted abstracts for consideration.

We received more than 800 submissions. The diversity of perspectives and the strong alignment with the thematic focus areas and requirements were particularly encouraging.

We are able to accommodate approximately 125 accepted abstracts that will be developed into policy briefings.

The list of accepted abstracts is available here.

Opportunity for Further Engagement: Submit a Commentary Piece

We recognise the valuable contributions of all authors and understand that many excellent submissions could not be included in the policy briefing selection. Therefore, we are pleased to announce an open call for commentary pieces.

This initiative provides an opportunity for authors not included in the accepted abstracts list, as well as those who did not have the chance to submit earlier, to contribute their insights and expertise. We encourage submissions that align with the G20 and T20 South Africa’s thematic priorities.

Submissions must adhere to these guidelines.

The submission window for commentary pieces will remain open from March through October. We look forward to receiving your contributions and fostering a robust dialogue on critical global issues throughout the year.
