“Obtaining, protecting and using essential environmental technologies: a holistic analysis”

Marked lack of posts recently - other academic duties, work new project (of which more shortly), and a move to Aberdeen (although not my work self!) are my only excuses. And I have found twitter (@igftowardaccess) a bit of a temptation.

But the new project "Obtaining, protecting and using essential environmental technologies: a holistic analysis" (see website link above)is now well underway. My own working paper is complete, and our first meeting of experts takes place this week. I'll be using this blog (and the twitter account) to share my views on ongoing developments.

For now, I'm really looking forward to the meetings, and also to see what comes out of the UNFCC discussions in Bonn about IP will it get more attention that at Copenhagen? Also interesting see the Financial Times had a special report on "Environment and Intellectual Property"
