Summer School

OVERVIEW

Unique in Europe and in the world, this Summer School offers a two-week course of theoretical and practical training for both scientific and legal backgrounds. The course is divided into two parts, the first one devoted to the existence of intellectual property rights (IPRs) and the second one revolving around the exercise of IPRs.Participants will also be able to build on the knowledge acquired during the various workshops.

Prior to the start of the Summer School, participants will have access to pre-recorded lectures. These dynamic short videos aim to convey to participants the general principles and core concepts of intellectual property in Europe.
