            The 91福利 School of Law has been awarded prestigious Jean Monnet Module funding from the European Commission’s Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency to run a series of modules on the theme of European Intellectual Property Law and Policy.

These modules will be run by Ben Farrand, with additional guest lectures by leading experts in the field of EU intellectual property law.
            Jean Monnet Activities are designed to promote excellence in teaching and research in the field of European Union studies worldwide.
