The Hellenic Copyright Organization (HCO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on August 2024 signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the Pan-European Seal Professional Training Programme (PES Talent Bank).
The PES Talent Bank is an online platform that brings together private and public entities, including law and consulting firms, companies, EU and international organizations, national institutions and universities, interested in offering internships and/or employment opportunities to the PES alumni community.
The platform has been developed specifically for the PES cooperating partners and the PES alumni community. It allows the publication of internships/job offers not only in the field of intellectual property, but also in most areas of expertise, such as finance, IT, linguistics, engineering, business, communication, etc.
Within the framework of the MoU, the HCO will become a member of the general Network of IP Academies (NIPA) managed by the EUIPO in collaboration with the Pan-European Seal (PES) University members, the Talent Bank Associated Partners and the National IP Offices.
The MoU was signed on behalf of EUIPO by its Executive Director, Mr. João NEGRÃO and on behalf of the HCO by the President of the Board of Directors, Mr. Panagiotis TSIRIS.
