8 July 2024Register now for the Intellectual Property Awareness Network (IPAN)’s upcoming virtual panel event organised by Exeter Law School’s Dr Louise Loder. The event is a follow up to IPAN’s report launched on World Intellectual Property Day 2024, ’The IPAN Guide to the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity’, an exploration of the 17 Global Goals through an IP lens.
The report explored the question: ‘How does IP intersect with each of the Global Goals, and how might IP be used to advance innovation and creativity towards realising the Goals?’ It features expert perspectives and recommendations of key partners, members, practitioners and policymakers. Through this Guide, IPAN aims to bring IP and the SDGs ever closer together and to ensure that future developments have sustainability at their core from the outset of policy or project planning, rather than as an afterthought.
The event will be held on Zoom and moderated by Phoebe Whitlock (IPAN Board Member & UK Delegate to UN Women). The session will welcome John P Ogier, Chair of IPAN; Matthew Cope, Deputy Director, AI, Missions and Technology, Intellectual Property Office UK; Neil Lampert, Deputy CEO of The Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys; Dr Janice Denoncourt, Associate Professor of Law, Nottingham Law School; Nisaa Jetha, Global Impact Strategist, Impact-for-SDGs; and Dr Francesca Mazzi, Lecturer in AI, Innovation and Law, Brunel University London.
