Partners
The Academy strives to enhance the network established in the past (by the EPO International Academy) comprising of international and national institutions and organisations as well as of universities, research and training institutions and practitioners in the field of intellectual property.
Together with experts and specialists from the EPO and the national offices of the contracting states to the European Patent Convention, this network of partners generates synergies and enhances the effectiveness of training courses, designed to meet the specific needs of the trainees.
