Since the start of global recruiting last Octobor, the organizing committee has received proposals from over 90 international teams which include over 230 participants. Many of them are excellent examples of cross–border cooperation with innovative and meaningful insights. The organizing committee expressed heartfelt thanks to the enthusiasm of all the applicants. As the size of the applicants is quite large, Group of Experts of the organizing committee faces enormous work pressure. But we still stick to respecting each proposal and considering carefully for all the applicants. Now, we are pleased to announce that the following participants have passed the first round. Please remember your team code (case sensitive) below as it is important. We have sent email to tell you what to do for the next step. Please read the email carefully and finish all the precedures in time. The organizing committee sincerely looks forward to meeting with you in Chongming.

 And the following is the name list of YICGG2018 observers. Please also do as what the email guide you to do.

As there is too many applicants, the competition is really fierce this year. We have to eliminate many teams although you have done a good job. We hope that you would continue to stay updated on YICGG. YICGG2019 plans to go to Indonesia next year.
