Innovation Incentives and the Regulatory Infrastructure (INNOCENT) Graduate School
The Innovation Incentives and the Regulatory Infrastructure (INNOCENT) is a graduate school in intellectual property law at IPR University Center at the University of Helsinki. The graduate school has been awarded five doctoral student positions for 2007—2011.
The INNOCENT graduate school has considerable national and international backing. Seven Finnish and five foreign universities support its activities. Furthermore, 17 Finnish companies, associations and government agencies (including Nokia and the leading law firms and patent agencies in Finland) are committed to support it.
The graduate school emphasises internationalisation by offering its students a possibility to do research for a period of up to two years at a foreign partner university. The students are given, where possible, an opportunity for an internship for up to four months at a collaboration partner in order to increase the chances for a career at a company or law firm after graduation.
Joint research training initiative between INNOCENT graduate school and the DFG Graduate School n. 1148 "Intellectual Property and the Public Domain" at the University of Bayreuth, Germany started in 2007. Read more about the cooperation: |
