The Geneva International Economic Law Research Sessions, or GIEL Sessions for short, is the CTEI’s new interdisciplinary workshop. Initiated by Joost Pauwelyn in 2016, members of the Graduate Institute’s research community – including professors, post-docs and doctoral candidates – have an opportunity to present their work in progress. The objective of the Sessions is to enable researchers to receive feedback from scholars in different disciplines.
Johan Rochel, a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Trade and Economic Integration, kicked off the Autumn 2017 sessions off on Wednesday, 6th September. His presentation, “How to Justify the Global IP Regime”, provoked lively discussions on the ethics of IP rights, TRIPS and the philosophy of global governance.
“It was great that there were people from so many different disciplines around the table, each with their own perspective and knowledge of the topic” said Dr Rochel after the seminar. “I received several challenging questions.”
The Sessions are coordinated by Angelica Zanninelli, CTEI's Events Coordinator, and introduced by Dr Weiwei Zhang, Post-Doc researcher at the CTEI. Researchers interested in presenting their work during 2017-8 should contact Angelica Zanninelli or Dr Theresa Carpenter, the CTEI’s Executive Director.
