Pre-evaluation Review of WIPO Academy IP eLearning Section
Overview
The Academy is WIPO’s core entity for the delivery of IP education, training, and human capacity-building services, particularly for developing countries, least developed countries (LDCs), and countries with economies in transition. The Academy conducts three programs: WIPO IP Learning Section (previously referred to as Distance Learning Program), WIPO Academic Institutions and Executive Program (before March 15, 2024, this was known as the Professional Development Program), which includes WIPO summer schools; and IP Training Institutions. The pre-evaluation review covers an understanding of the IP eLearning Section, target audience, admission procedures, scholarship procedures, procedures for course content development and the engaged process of experts and tutors, and the impact of the IP eLearning Section on developing economies and transitional economies as per the WIPO Academy mandate. The IP eLearning Section has been delivering general and advanced training courses accessible worldwide in over 10 languages covering all IP aspects since 1999. Courses are offered in two components: general courses and advanced courses. General courses focus on theoretical knowledge across a broad spectrum of IP topics, emphasizing understanding the legal frameworks (self-study), and advanced courses provide specialized training and validate specific IP-related skills. The courses' target audience is IP professionals, government officers, and employees of IP offices (lawyers, patent agents, artists, performers, economists, journalists, entrepreneurs, business owners, and university students).Report Details
