UCL IBIL co-hosts webinar for Early Career Researchers

On 15 June, IBIL was delighted to co-host a webinar with Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre for IP scholars to provide guidance on how to choose the most suitable outlet for an academic research project. Although the event was particularly aimed at UK-based Early Career Researchers and final year PhD students, it attracted an international audience of around 60 academics, includings more senior scholars, keen to share their advice.
