From June 24 to July 5, 2019, the Summer School on Intellectual Property is taking place in Geneva.

The University of Geneva, together with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), organizes a two-weeks WIPO-University of Geneva Summer School on Intellectual Property (June 24 to July 5). The Summer School is taking place during the first week (June 24 to June 28) at the WIPO Headquarters, and during the second week (July 1 to July 5) in the premises of the University of Geneva Law School.

The Summer School is open to senior students (graduate and postgraduate students) and young professionals from any field of study or discipline (from law to economics).

The objective of the Summer School is to provide an opportunity for advanced students or young professionals to acquire deeper knowledge of Intellectual Property (IP) and to gain an appreciation of IP as a tool for economic, social, cultural and technological development and the role WIPO plays in the global administration of IP.

Lecturers are IP experts at WIPO, the University of Geneva, or other institutions.

The program consists of lectures by eminent WIPO and external experts in the field of IP as well as case studies and group discussions on selected IP topics.
