Annual meeting of EQE tutors and members of the EQE committees
One of the priorities of the European Patent Academy and its partners is to support the network of tutors preparing candidates for the European qualifying examination. The annual conference of tutors with EQE committees allows for an exchange of important information about the most recent examination. Tutors can especially benefit from the direct contact with people in charge of preparing the examination papers and marking candidates' answers. The sessions are always very much appreciated by the tutors attending, as well as the committee members. They provide an excellent opportunity for tutors to learn more about where and how to put particular emphasis when training candidates for the next EQE.
This event is open to tutors who are active in preparing candidates for the European qualifying examination next year.

Objectives
The meeting will give participants the opportunity to discuss - in a moderated format with members of the EQE committees - topics related to the examination papers of the EQE. Committee members will answer questions and give insight in what was expected from candidates, which particular aspects were generally answered well and what went wrong more often than right.
