SUMMARY:Roundtable: Regional Approaches to Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Sponsors: United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP); Centre on Knowledge Governance\, Geneva Graduate Institute; Texas A&M University School of Law \nThe COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant inequalities between and within countries in providing access to healthcare\, including access to quality\, safe\, efficacious and affordable essential medical products. Existing weaknesses and deficiencies in health systems within countries\, in terms of financing\, human resources and technologies\, were also accentuated through the pandemic. The experiences across countries highlighted the need to diversify production capacity for essential medical products and to facilitate their access\, including through securing essential technologies for manufacturing and utilizing appropriate policy mechanisms. \nThis event will feature a presentation of research on intellectual property and technology transfer policies for access to medicines\, diagnostics and vaccines commissioned by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)\, followed by a roundtable of responses by invited experts in the field. The discussion will focus on engaging with appropriate legal tools that can address and/or alleviate the barriers to achieving health equity objectives at a regional level. Issues including improving innovation and transfer of technology\, and creating appropriate legal policy tools and other enablers to achieving healthcare related goals will form the crux of the discussion. \nRegister to Attend \nKey discussion areas: Intellectual property; International Treaties; Regional legal policy initiatives; Public health governance; Growing role of regional engagement on emerging issues such as innovation technology and the role of international economic law at the regional level. \nIn-person attendance will be limited to invited experts. The event will include a public webcast open to all registered participants.

SUMMARY:Executive Course IP and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:This intensive two-day course provides a comprehensive\, comparative analysis of the evolving legal and policy landscape at the intersection of Intellectual Property (IP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Participants will explore pressing legal challenges\, including the copyright protection for AI training data\, the patentability and copyright of AI-generated outputs\, and the balance between proprietary interests and the public interest in research (Text and Data Mining and computational research) and the development of Public AI and Just AI. \nUse the link below to apply for a scholarship. Priority in the awarding of scholarships will be given to policy makers from the Global South and stakeholders who are working on AI and copyright reform in the public interest. \n\n\n\n    \n\nThe course will feature in-depth comparative analysis of legal frameworks and policy proposals across the European Union (EU)\, United States (USA)\, India\, Brazil\, Singapore\, Japan\, and in international forums\, such as the World Intellectual Property Organization\, World Trade Organization and other agencies. \nEnroll on the course without applying for a scholarship on the website of the Geneva Graduate Institute here. \nThe learning experience will culminate in a practical role-play exercise in which students will draft a model international legal instrument aimed at ensuring fair remuneration for creators while safeguarding the rights of researchers and public interest organizations developing AI infrastructure. This legal instrument will focus on  a range of factors to be used in distinguishing research and public interest uses of AI from commercial competitive uses.
