Statement of Purpose

To raise the awareness of a wide array of public audience on the relationship between Intellectual Property (IP) and development on the international level, with a special focus on Access to Knowledge, for the purposes of promoting innovation and creativity and stimulating the development of an inclusive knowledge society in the Arab world.

We aim to target researchers, academics, librarians, students, and other interested parties in the Arab region as well as international proponents of development-oriented Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs).
