Objective The rise of the knowledge economy and the increasing importance of information-based business in the world economy has been accompanied by a growing interest in the role of Intellectual Property Rights, both in securing the returns to investments in these businesses - and in guaranteeing the diffusion of new ideas and knowledge. The central concern of this proposal is the various challenges and policy issues that are raised by the evolution of the IP institutions in the context of the new knowledge-based economy, an area of great policy concern for the future of European economic competitiveness and social cohesion. The participants, based in six European teams, propose the organisation of five seminars and a final conference on various IPR issues that will facilitate "the creation of a network bringing together economists, lawyers, sociologists , political scientists and policy makers in order to address these issues and discuss their implications at the European level.
