CAS @ Cambridge

CAS and the University of Cambridge have been working together since 2003.  The close relationship with St Edmund’s college began with the Legal Internship Programme that has brought on-the-ground legal support to several CGIAR centres over the years.

Strategic Workshops/Training

In addition, CAS and Cambridge University have been working on a series of targeted workshops.  Intellectual property in the context of commitment towards public domain raises some very specific questions - CAS-IP designed a workshop to be able to help answer questions unique to CGIAR senior management. 

Below is a brief introduction to this series of strategic workshops.

The 2009 workshop will take place in December in Rome, exact dates TBC.  The workshop will be delivered by Dr Sean Butler of the University of Cambridge (Honorary Research Fellow of CAS-IP).  Sean has worked with CAS-IP for many years, teaches law at Cambridge and is a UK-qualified lawyer.  He is also a social scientist, his field being intellectual assets and technology transfer between public and private sectors.

You can view the 2008 agenda HERE.  The 2009 workshop will be available shortly.
