This year, WIPO is reaching out to its Member States and other partners to invite them to share information about the remarkable work of young people who are developing local solutions to global problems for inclusion in the World Intellectual Property Day Youth Gallery.

We invite you to post a case study on your own World IP Day web page and to send the World IP Day Team by e-mail (worldipday@wipo.int) a link to that case study together with a short summary of the case study and an image, which we will post on the World IP Day Youth Gallery.
