NOVA Knowledge Centre on Intellectual Property & Sustainable Innovation (IPSI)

The NOVA Knowledge Centre on Intellectual Property & Sustainable Innovation (IPSI) is dedicated to the study and research on the legal concept, regulation, and evolution of intellectual property in a society seeking sustainability. NOVA IPSI has as its aims:

  • Engaging students and early-career researchers with legal questions on sustainable incentives and access to Knowledge, Technology, and Culture;
  • Enabling senior researchers and faculty members from NOVA and other universities to advance their research and transform it into policy advice, legal consultancy, legal education, and strategic litigation;
  • Establishing opportunities for dialogue and collaborative project development between researchers and key stakeholders.
