The objective of the Summer School is to provide an opportunity for fifty advanced students and young professionals to acquire deeper knowledge of intellectual property, 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 intellectual property.

The Summer School program covers all main areas of intellectual property (namely, patent law, trademarks, designs and copyright) through a pragmatic, interactive approach. Lecturers are intellectual property experts at WIPO, the AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ, or other institutions.
