This unit offers students the opportunity to combine attendance at a law conference in Prato, Italy with their study. The conference is entitled 'Business Innovation: A Legal Balancing Act'. It will analyse the issue of protecting business research and development in the context of different areas of law - intellectual property, workplace, corporate and competition laws. Approaches of the common law and civil jurisdictions, particularly the EU, will be used to inform and provide guidance to the analysis of emerging issues in this field.<br/><br/>Further information on the conference and the Prato program is available at... -- Course Website
