IP Researchers Europe Conference (IPRE)

IP Researchers Europe conference (IPRE) 2025

The School of Law of the AV短视频 (UNIGE) is pleased to announce the IP Researchers Europe Conference (IPRE) 2025, which will be held in Geneva on 19-20 June 2025 as an in-person event.

As in previous editions, IPRE 2025 will take place at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on Thursday, June 19, 2025, and at the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Friday, June 20, 2025.

IPRE was created in 2018 to convene IP scholars in Geneva, a city privileged for its position as an international forum for policy debates about current and future IP laws and policies. Since then, the Conference has brought together academic researchers from Europe and beyond to discuss their works-in-progress with other colleagues and policymakers.

Conference’s participants will include researchers at any stage of their careers. This includes professors, associate professors, assistant professors, lecturers, academic fellows, post-doctoral fellows, and doctoral candidates enrolled in a Ph.D. program or equivalent doctoral degree.
IPRE 2025 will again be linked to the 2025 WIPO-UNIGE Intellectual Property Summer School (IPSS). The objective of the interactions between the two programs is to allow the participants of IPSS to join the IPRE sessions, promoting mutually stimulating interactions, and capitalizing on the joint presence in Geneva of the participants of these programs to promote a Geneva-connected global IP community.
