Community: The International GeoGebra Institute (IGI) is the not-for-profit entity of The GeoGebra Group, coordinating deployment and research efforts across a global network of user groups at universities and non-profit organizations. It joins teachers, students, software developers and researchers to support, develop, translate and organise the GeoGebra related tasks and projects. The local user groups support students and teachers in their region. As part of the International GeoGebra Institute network they share free educational materials via the GeoGebra Materialsplatform, organize workshops, and work on projects related to GeoGebra.
