The project identifies the weak link between the educational system and legal system for protecting Intellectual Property in the Partner countries. The provision of specialist university courses in Intellectual Property Law is inadequate to train and update professionals working in the sector. The project will develop a Masters programme in Intellectual Property Law adapted to the needs of South Eastern and train PC academic staff in the EU. This will help promote the enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights to EU standards. The specific objectives are: Establishing Regional Joint Degree Master of Intellectual Property Law (MIPL), Retraining of professors, design and development of curricula, delivery of courses to students.
