Description:
Intellectual Property Law has always been a marginal university course. This might come as a surprise given the tremendous importance that IP plays in today's global economy. In an effort to bring IP closer to law students and at the same time remain at the frontline of legal developments, ELSA has selected IP as its theme for the 07-10 International Focus Programme (IFP).
The implementation of the International Focus Programme goes through a variety of events, like seminars, institutional study visits, law schools etc. However, we find that an international essay competition is the best way for law students to maximize their participation and be rewarded for their significant effort. In that direction, several ELSA groups under the umbrella of the IFP join their efforts to provide their members with a unique opportunity to compete at European level by presenting their academic views and concerns on hot legal topics that touch upon Intellectual Property.
Who? The Essay Competition is open for all interested people admitted to a European University or similar institution based in Europe. If interessted in signing up to ELSA, send your request here.
