Hi all,

Please see below a link to call for papers for the Wellington conference "Trade, Intellectual Property and the Knowledge Assets of Indigenous Peoples: The Developmental Frontier" in December. Submissions are due by the 11th of June. The linked resource says:

"Knowledge assets have come to play an increasingly important role in global, regional and
national markets. For indigenous people their traditional knowledge is a unique and
multidimensional asset. Such assets offer developmental possibilities. If these

developmental possibilities are to be realized new institutional and governance approaches
will have to evolve that are responsive to the needs and preferences of indigenous peoples.

This conference will discuss the linkages between trade, intellectual property, traditional

knowledge assets (including traditional cultural expressions) and the development
aspirations of indigenous peoples. What are the broader institutional and governance
issues that will need to be considered if flourishing indigenous business enterprises based

on traditional knowledge assets are to become a reality? The conference aims to share
knowledge, ideas and experience of how markets and trade affect indigenous peoples and
ways in which indigenous peoples might harness economic opportunities to benefit from

and support their unique heritage of knowledge. The conference will have a particular
focus on New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and Australia."
