The Young Professionals Programme offers students and recent graduates the opportunity to learn, enhance and boost their future employability through a hands-on, one year, paid work experience at the EU Intellectual Property Office and European Patent Office.

The EUIPO will be hosting a virtual visit on Wednesday 20 November 2024, from 10:30 to 12:00 in preparation for the upcoming Programme.

The virtual visit is essential for prospective students interested in applying for the upcoming traineeship call. Throughout the meeting, information and specifics of the apprenticeship programme and the EUIPO’s resources will be shared, providing initial understanding of the EUIPO and its initiatives.

To secure your spot for the virtual visit kindly register online with registrations closing on the 19 November 2024 at 1200. Registered applicants will receive detailed instructions to join the virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams closer to the meeting. Please note that the connection details are personal and cannot be shared between participants. Therefore, all students must register individually.

Additionally, please contact the University of Malta Corporate Research and Knowledge Transfer Office via email so that we would be aware of your interest in applying for the traineeship, once the call for applications is open. The Knowledge Transfer Office is the main contact point for any UM student interested in partaking in this programme and can be contacted directly with any queries on the programme.

We look forward to seeing you at the EUIPO Virtual Visit.
