Guest speakers include: Marko Ilešič (Judge at the Court of Justice of the EU), Vesna Tomljenović (Judge at the EU General Court), Gorana Aralica Martinović (Judge at the High Commercial Court of the Republic of Croatia), Maciej Szpunar (Advocate General at the CJEU) as well as many others.

Opportunities
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, seeking professor in law and technology
The Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, is looking to
hire in the area of law and technology (among other areas), either at the Assistant Professor level or
at the level of a Canada Research Chair (Tier 2). The deadline for applications is September 10th,
and the full details can be found here.
Mentoring opportunities
Fellow Kat Eleonora runs a Facebook IP group, which she originally created for her students. Membership is however open to anyone with an interest in IP. Eleonora has now added a 'Mentorship' functionality, which allows the pairing of mentors and mentees, so that younger members of the group can get insights and tips from more experienced members in an informal and relaxed setting. If you are interested in joining the programme, do sign up!

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
