What are you looking for?

The CUMULUS Intellectual Property (IP) Working Group, in collaboration with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), is developing a new resource:
“IP Teaching Standards for Design Academies.”

This toolkit will support design and art institutions in embedding strong, relevant IP education into their curricula.

Why We Need Your Input

We are conducting a short survey to understand:
• Whether institutions have dedicated IP offices or support,
• How IP education is currently delivered,
• What additional tools and resources are needed to strengthen IP teaching.

Completing the survey takes less than 5 minutes and will have a lasting impact on how future designers understand and navigate intellectual property challenges.
🔗 [Fill out the Survey here] Deadline: 2025.05.30.

Join the CUMULUS IP Working Group

Interested in collaborating further?

We warmly invite educators, researchers, and institutional leaders to join the CUMULUS Intellectual Property Working Group. Together, we exchange knowledge, create resources, and advocate for better IP education in the creative industries.

If you would like to join or find out more, please join us either in person or online at our next meeting on 6 June during the CUMULUS conference in Nantes.

Thank you for your contribution!
