Capacity-building initiative to support the next generation of IP experts

Strengthening the next generation of young IP professionals is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of an effective intellectual property system. To support emerging leaders in the global IP community, EUIPO launched the Young Leadership Programme in 2025.

This year, the programme will take place from 30 November to 4 December, with the EU4IP project supporting the participation of representatives from the Western Balkans and the Republic of Moldova. Over five days, participants will explore real-life case scenarios and best practices from EU Member States and EUIPO experts, with a focus on practical application and problem-solving.
