4. White Rose IPBio Symposium and Summer School, "Intellectual 
Property and the Biosciences," Devonshire Hall, University of Leeds,

intellectual property in the biological sciences are high on the 
agenda.  This meeting, comprising a one-day symposium and a half-day 
summer school, and bringing together international experts in law, 
science policy, history, philosophy, sociology and other disciplines, 
will aim to clarify key issues and explore ways forward. Deadline for 
submission for summer school: Friday 18 June, 2010.
