Overall Side Event schedule As part of the efforts to enhance the functions of Side Events and Exhibits, the secretariat has color-coded Side Events by the theme based on the association by the organizers. "Others" therefore include those who did not associate themselves with any themes. Tagging the Side Events by the theme is also one of the proposals in the stakeholder engagement review that the secretariat internally undertook. We hope this helps you find the events of your interest more efficiently. A list by theme will be created from the next session on. If you have any feedback on this arrangement, please email us at: [email protected] . Category/Abbreviation
