About

Youth Innovation Competition on Global Governance (YICGG) is initiated by the School of International Relations and Public Affairs (SIRPA) of Fudan University, which is open to university students worldwide. In this competition, students design projects regarding global governance, which provides them the opportunity to show their originality, creativity, and the sense of initiation.

All three previous competitions held respectively in Fudan University (Shanghai, China, 2007), Tor Vergata University (Rome, Italy, 2008), Ilia Chavchavadze State University (Tbilisi, Georgia, 2009) attracted hundreds of young people all over the world. YICGG is designed to encourage participants to attend to global issues, stimulate their innovation, enhance global civic awareness, and shoulder their responsibility for a common future of humanity.

Nowadays, globalization is a major factor for the success of global governance. However, some different understandings on global governance have recently appeared, and one of them is glocalization. The word “glocalization” is the combination of “globalization” and “localization”, which implies one mode of global governance: to think globally and act locally.
