What is G8 Live?
G8 Live is an initiative of the student division of the G8 Research Group, the world’s leading independent research institute providing information and analysis on the G8. G8 Live was originally developed in 2006 as an international news outlet tasked with providing real-time updates from the G8 Summit. In 2008 its mandate was expanded to include year-round news and analysis on the institutions, issues and members of the G8 as well as the Heiligendamm Process partners (the G5 or Outreach-Five states), the G20, civil society groups, and the international media. G8 Live is managed and maintained by the student division of the G8 Research Group, which consists of approximately 150 analysts recruited predominately from University of Toronto undergraduate and graduate student communities. These analysts produce internationally recognized reports which garner significant attention from governments, academics, policy institutes, advocacy groups, media, international organizations, and non-gov
