Innovation, intellectual property and competition policy (IIPC)

On 15 December 2008, TILEC will organize a workshop in Tilburg where the winners of the TILEC IIPC grant competition 2007 will present the results of their research. The workshop will begin with a keynote speech by Vincenzo Denicolò (University of Bologna) on IP licensing. Then, the research projects selected last year will be presented by each winning team and discussed by TILEC members. The winners of the TILEC IIPC grant 2007 were (in alphabetical order): Scott Baker (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) & Claudio Mezzetti (University of Warwick), Bruce Kobayashi & Joshua D. Wright (both of George Mason University), and Michael Ward (University of Texas at Arlington). Attendance is free but registration is required.
