Young Experts Program: Growing Future Global IP Leaders
The goal of WIPO’s Young Experts Program is to develop the next round of intellectual property leaders. The WIPO-organized two-year program is intended to acquaint young individuals with high potential, particularly those from poor and least-developed countries as well as nations. With a focus on on-the-job learning and exposure to various fields, areas of focus, and colleagues, YEP selections will benefit from a comprehensive and extensive WIPO work experience. Additionally, YEP will offer frequent chances for networking with WIPO’s senior and senior leadership.
Benefits of joining WIPO’s Young Expert Program
Unique on-the-job learning

The curriculum is a blended learning approach that combines classroom instruction with opportunities for academic preparation through the WIPO Academy.
Mentoring and guidance
