Dear all, please take note of this CFP for our upcoming conference.
A one-day interdisciplinary conference
14th April 2015
Date: 14 April 2015
Location: John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK
Deadline: Abstract submissions should be received by 23/1/2015 (decisions announced 30/1/2015)
As part of the AHRC-funded Cultivating Innovation project the University of Leeds is hosting at the John Innes Centre a one-day conference bringing together plant breeders and agricultural scientists with historians, philosophers, and scholars from other disciplines for a fresh look at intellectual property in agriculture and plant breeding.
The conference will take place at the John Innes Centre from the morning of Tuesday 14th of April. The closing keynote address will be given by Professor Daniel Kevles (Yale).
Abstracts are invited for talks on the following aspects of intellectual property and its relations to agriculture and plant breeding, from any disciplinary perspective within the humanities and sciences:
• IP and plant science
• IP and agriculture
• IP and genetic modification
• IP and food security
• IP and bioscience industries
If you are unsure about the potential suitability of your paper, please email the conference organiser, Dr Dominic Berry, [log in to unmask]
All presentations will be video recorded and made available to the public through YouTube.
The Cultivating Innovation project <www.cultivatinginnovation.org> is led by Professors Gregory Radick and Graeme Gooday at the University of Leeds. The aim is to bring greater attention to the role of intellectual property in science past and present, with a particular emphasis on agriculture and the plant sciences. Given the public-facing nature of the project, we will be encouraging all speakers to spend a little of their time explaining a particular aspect of IP law/theory/social importance, that would either a) typically be explained in a manner too complex for a general audience, or b) would be found only in academic texts.
To submit your abstract, please follow this link.
