SUMMARY:Maggie Chon\, Public Lecture & cocktail (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Can we re-imagine global intellectual property (IP) frameworks to make cutting-edge scientific knowledge available and barrier-free to a majority of the world’s population. \n\n\n\n    \n \nHow can generative artificial intelligence (genAI) for human language translation solve the huge disparity in access to scientific literature? While scientific talent and knowledge is distributed throughout humankind and all countries would benefit from multi-directional access to knowledge\, language differences unnecessarily impede the flow of scientific exchange. For example\, over 90 percent of the current scientific publications are in English but less than 25 percent of the world’s population is proficient in English. \nBesides language barriers\, legal barriers to scientific knowledge exchange unnecessarily perpetuate on-going inequities in the distribution of global research and development capacity because translation rights are frequently assigned to scientific publishers through copyright laws. How can these issues be addressed by changes to global legal frameworks? Can the problem be solved in a similar way to the how the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) Marrakesh Treaty eventually mandated access to works for print-disabled individuals? What is the role of high-quality repositories of scientific abstracts? \nCan we meet UN Sustainable Development Goals 9 (“Industry\, innovation\, and infrastructure”) and 17 (“Partnership for the goals”)\, which both concern technology? \nJoin Maggie Chon for an insightful evening at Villa Barton\, on the lake in Parc Mon Repos. \nMargaret Chon is the Faculty Director\, Technology\, Innovation Law\, and Ethics (TILE) Institute in the Donald and Lynda Horowitz Endowed Chair for the Pursuit of Justice at the SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW. Professor Chon is also a visiting scholar at the Geneva Graduate Institute.

SUMMARY:Create and Research with AI
DESCRIPTION:Can creators use AI in the creative process and still secure copyright for their work? Do researchers have access to the limitations and exceptions to copyright they need to produce new knowledge using AI ? How can the notion of JUST AI help us ensure that Intellectual Property laws serve creators\, users and the broader public interest? \n\n\n\n    \n\n  \nThe Geneva Center on Knowledge Governance (CKG) and the Instituto Brasileiro de Direitos Autorais (IDBA) are sponsoring a series of meetings and events for members of the User Rights Network June 24-26\, 2026\, — the week prior to the ATRIP meetings in Sao Paulo\, Brazil. The meetings will have a focus on the intersection of copyright and artificial intelligence\, especially in the context of uses and production of AI models in developing countries. A rough draft of the agenda follows. We invite proposals to present papers or works in progress at and of the sessions\, which will be revised based on the applications received. \nDraft programme: June Arrangements.docx – Google Docs \nTell us what contribution you’d like to make at the meeting. Accepted presenters will be offered two nights hotel stay in Rio..

SUMMARY:IVIR Course on International Copyright Law (Scholarship)
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Information Law organizes an annual intensive post-graduate course on international copyright law and policy. The face of copyright law and policy changes continuously\, mostly due to the constant evolution of the digital networked environment and the legislative initiatives at the international and European level. As a result\, copyright professionals must keep abreast of the applicable rules and policy initiatives\, including those deriving from the international treaties and the various European directives in the area. \nThe Centre on Knowledge Governance is offering 5 scholarships to attend the course. Priority will be given to policy makers and stakeholders from the Global South who are working directly on copyright reform initiatives. \n\n\n\n    \n \nAt the conclusion of the course\, participants will have gained valuable insight in the most crucial current issues of copyright law\, examined from a comparative law perspective and in the light of recent international and regional agreements.  Participants in the course will also have access to comprehensive course material\, consisting of the most relevant international\, European\, and American legislative documents\, case law\, and other background materials. The lectures are given by internationally renowned scholars\, including those of the Institute for Information Law\, and practitioners who all share years of academic and practical experience in the field of international copyright law.

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.  Find more information about the course on the Centre’s website here. \nEnroll on the course on the website of the Geneva Graduate Institute here. \nUse the link below to apply for a scholarship. Priority in the awarding of scholarships will be given to policy makers and stakeholders from the Global South 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. \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.
