IP, competition and human rights expert meeting - Edinburgh

We are delighted to report that on 23 and 24 March we held a most stimulating, challenging (and enjoyable) meeting of experts from our network. Those present came from international institutions and academia, from Europe, India, Brazil and Nigeria. and with significant expertise in (at least) one of our key areas.

Building on our previous conference and publications, which had focussed on the more theoretical possibilties for interface and conflict, this meeting considered 4 case studies. After our worries that there might not be enough to talk about in 4 scenarios averaging under a page of A4, we could have gone on all week! An edited note from the meeting will be prepared and published in due course. We also look forward to taking the project forward to the next stage.

Many many thanks to all those involved and as ever to our administrator Nadine Eriksson-Smith.
