On 27 and 28 May 2021, the international section of CEIPI will organize its 32nd annual European tutors’ meeting. Taking into account the sanitary restrictions in the still very tense context of the Covid-19 pandemic, this meeting, traditionally held in the premises of the University of Strasbourg and particularly appreciated for its scientific and cultural purpose, has to be organized online for the second time in a row. About 90 participants, all specialists in European patent law teaching for CEIPI in several European cities in order to train future patent practitioners, are expected to join the meeting.
