WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Delegates
It is with a warm heart and lots of excitement that we welcome you to the 34th ATRIP Congress. IP researchers and teachers have a special bond which is known as ATRIP. We hope that the 34th ATRIP Congress will be everything you hoped for academically, socially and culturally.
We trust you will enjoy your stay in Cape Town – the Mother City of South Africa – and that you will experience a little bit of the legendary South African warmth and hospitality.
It has been a great honour for us to host the 34th ATRIP Congress in Cape Town.
