Managing IP is proud to publish the latest episode in a series of podcasts celebrating the tenth anniversary of UK-based diversity network IP Inclusive.
In this episode, the ninth of 10, we discuss IP Inclusive’s ‘IP & ME’ network, which celebrates ethnic diversity and inclusion in the IP professions.
We discuss the challenges and opportunities for minority ethnic professionals in IP.
For this episode, we are joined by Lianne Da-Cunha, co-lead of IP & ME and an associate at Forresters.
IP Inclusive was set up in 2015 to promote and improve DEI and wellbeing throughout the UK’s IP profession.
It aims to ensure that the UK’s IP profession is open and welcoming to all those with the necessary aptitude, regardless of their age, gender, race, sexuality, religion, physical and cognitive ability, wealth, and background.
Previous episodes in the series have focused on the ‘Careers in Ideas’ network, ‘IP Out’, a network for LGBTQAI+ people and their allies working in the IP professions, and ‘IP Ability’, a community for disabled people, carers and their allies working within the IP professions.
The entire podcast series is also available on the IP Inclusive YouTube channel.
