On 23 April, the 17th International Forum «Innovative Development through the Intellectual Property Market» under the auspices of the UN took place in Moscow. For the first time, as a part of this event, a Youth Session «Protecting Intellectual Property: Formulating Solutions» was organized and hosted by RANEPA St.Petersburg.

The Forum invariably brings together delegations from the countries of the Greater Eurasian Partnership.

The Youth Session featured, in particular, presentations made by academics and students in Customs at RANEPA St. Petersburg as well as copyright holders.

Young people should be actively involved in the discussion of significant issues, not only as audience, but also as generators of new ideas.
