Dear Colleagues,

The European Policy for Intellectual Property Association (EPIP) announces its 18^th Annual Conference, Poland, hosted by the Intellectual Property Law Chair of the Department of Law and Administration, Jagiellonian University in Kraków, from 11 September to 13 September 2023.

The conference will bring together researchers, PhD students, stakeholders and practitioners to explore the current state and future of intellectual property, innovation, and technology. The title of this year's edition is IP, innovation and technology – challenging the present, inspiring the future.

The participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and presentations that touch on a range of issues related to these subjects, including the shifting role of IP in the world, the relationship between IP and innovation, the impact of new technologies on IP law, the balance between IP protection and open access, and the role of IP in shaping sustainable innovation systems, health policies, and business models, particularly in the digital realm.

We strongly believe that EPIP 2023 will provide an opportunity for exchanging ideas between participants with different backgrounds and international integration of the IP community.

The registration for EPIP 2023 is now open.

We look forward to welcoming you in September 2023!

The Organising Committee
