DESCRIPTION:Although the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over\, attention is
  now turning to the question of how the world can be better prepared to re
 spond to future pandemics. At the centre of concerns is the question of in
 tellectual property (IP)\, of diagnostics\, therapeutics\, and vaccines. W
 hile governments demanded and pumped huge resources into supporting innova
 tions in relation to COVID-19\, pharmaceutical companies have largely been
  able to retain IP in their discoveries\, and achieve very substantial pro
 fits\, even when the bulk of funding has come from governments. Although i
 t hard to view the current situation as equitable\, entrenched interests h
 ave opposed significant change\, and in any case there is no consensus on 
 what changes to IP would lead to a future that is both equitable and susta
 ining with regard to pandemic preparedness and response.\n\nA number of in
 novative IP solutions for stronger global pandemic response have been prop
 osed. They range from voluntary measures and expanded use of recognised TR
 IPS flexibilities to a temporary waiver of TRIPS intellectual property pro
 tections at the WTO or even to an entirely new incentive/access framework 
 for pandemic diseases. As the world comes together to create a new treaty 
 or instrument for better pandemic preparation and response\, we will explo
 re proposals for more flexible management of IP.\n\nThe event is co-organi
 sed by Professor Jonathan Wolff\, the Global Health Impact Project\, and t
 he Independent Research Group for Global Health Justice.\nSpeakers:\nProfe
