The seminar series brings together academics and business by featuring academic experts and top practitioners in the field of IPR. The audience is warmly welcome to engage in the discussion by asking questions to the speakers.

What’s the role of IPR in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)? How can IP right promote sustainable innovations and practices? What is the role of IP law in the broader policy, including the Green Deal?
The seminar brings together experts from academic, to private practice, to industry, patent experts and IPR policies in a dialogue on the role of IPR and sustainability.
