Join us as this seminar addresses the TRIPS-waiver for improving the supply of affordable vaccines.

Sir Gerard Brennan Boardroom (W353)

<h1>A﻿bout the event</h1> The seminar addresses the TRIPS-waiver for improving the supply of affordable vaccines in the developing world that South Africa and India proposed at the World Trade Organization in October 2020. In order to gauge the planned TRIPS-waiver’s fitness for its intended purpose the seminar will explore the problems confronting vaccine access in the pandemic and what patents can and cannot do to help resolve these problems. The seminar will also look at other ways to improve the availability of vaccines on the African continent in future pandemics (which may not be global, but African only).Learn more information <a href="https://law.uq.edu.au/event/session/19766" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
