Our Chair had the privilege and honor of organizing the 18th Annual EPIP Conference, titled 'IP, Innovation, and Technology: Challenging the Present, Inspiring the Future.'

It's challenging to encapsulate the extraordinary nature of this event in a few words. The opportunity to connect and exchange knowledge among numerous research centers, judges, and IP professionals from both legal and economic perspectives was truly invaluable.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the conference participants. Your dedication and the vibrant atmosphere you fostered made these three days truly exceptional. We hope that, in addition to the wealth of knowledge we've gained, lasting connections were forged in Krakow, paving the way for collaborative efforts within the IP community for years to come.

We are also delighted to announce that our colleague, dr hab. Justyna Ożegalska-Trybalska, was elected as the EPIP President for the term 2023-2024!

While we bid farewell to this conference with a hint of sadness, we eagerly anticipate future gatherings and the forthcoming EPIP conference in Pisa.
