=== Tuesday October 30, 2012 === Ahmed Abdel Latif (http://ictsd.org/about/our-people/ahmed-abdel-latif/) will be talking about '''Global Knowledge Governance : Challenges and options for reform'''. :'''Abstract:''' :Knowledge plays a central role in empowering societies to address the multiple, political, economic and social challenges they face. With globalization, revolutions in communications and information technologies (ICT), and a myriad of scientific advances, knowledge has become an increasingly important factor in achieving innovation, growth and competitiveness and in sustaining cultural creativity. The ability of people to harness knowledge is, however, dependent on the structure of knowledge ownership. At present, intellectual property (IP) rules are the predominant tool for regulating the creation, diffusion and use of knowledge – and related goods and services. However, the unprecedented strengthening of IP rules in the past two decades has become a source of tensions. Aware that the contest over the scope and distribution of IP rights – and appropriate governance arrangements – is set to intensify, an independent Expert Taskforce on Global Knowledge Governance was established by the Oxford Global Economic Governance program to propose a set of principles and options for reform. It report is expected to be released in 2013. :The taskforce’s work seeks to address the following questions: :*What are the most critical current and emerging global trends and challenges relating to knowledge generation, access and use? What are the issues that matter most to different kinds of stakeholders? :*How effective are the current arrangements for global knowledge governance in facing these challenges? Are they adequate for responding to emerging trends and future challenges? :*What are key principles that should guide reform of global knowledge governance and what are the options for reform? :The work of the taskforce includes consultations; an online stakeholder survey; interviews with a diversity of academics, policy experts, and stakeholder communities around the world; and a review of the most relevant scholarly and policy literature. The report will be peer-reviewed by a group of leading international scholars working on the intersection of issues covered in the study
