Are you looking for resources to use in your outreach work?
This directory, from Careers in Ideas, compiles a wide range resources to assist!
The resources bring together in one place all of the most relevant Careers in Ideas materials, including those from our Summer of IP campaigns, as well as useful resources that we have identified from the UKIPO, EUIPO and EPO.
It is aimed primarily at IP professionals, providing information and resources to support you in your outreach activities. Some sections will also be useful as handouts or for signposting to students, parents, teachers and careers advisors. We’ve split the directory into 3 parts so you can easily find what you’re looking for.
You can download the Directory here. It is also available via: IP Inclusive Resources and Careers in Ideas Resources.
