WIPO Academy

“My advice is to pursue a crosscutting discipline such as intellectual property and business, as it allows you to learn about different topics at the same time and it increases your employability in different fields in the future.”

“If you have a good idea, don’t give up on it. Start now, write it down and make a plan. People will encourage and discourage you, so you just need to be self-motivated at the end of the day. With access to a computer and internet you can achieve anything.”

“I strongly believe that WIPO-Tongji University Master’s in IP is a great opportunity to learn and explore new regimes of IP and technology commercialization at the international level. As a result of this program, I have not only built a very strong network with individuals from different parts of the world, but also developed a strong professional profile in the areas of IP, innovation and technology transfer.”

“I am sharing the good word of IP, because by sharing the knowledge, it prevents me from forgetting it.”

“IP should be considered a key pillar of the school curriculum. Classes that explain the importance and value of IP in schools are the only way to cultivate real interest in the subject among young people so they can get the most out of it.”

“Start practicing law as early as possible. Studies are one thing, and practical experience is something else. This way you can quickly find out whether your idea of the job actually matches reality. Don’t get discouraged with failure either. With enough perseverance and efforts, you will make it in the end.”

“I want to learn more about IP in school too, as it is very useful to anyone who is creative and innovative… to anyone with a good idea really.”

“Nothing beats access to the WIPO Academy’s network, it really can open doors and create opportunities for you.”
