Open Science’s Progressive Potential. A Critical IP Perspective
Online Seminar with Professor Kathy Bowrey
Date: Wednesday 30 June 2025 | Time: 1:00pm (London – BST) / Time in your location | Venue: Zoom

This seminar explores the effects of technoscientific capitalism and the datafication of research on the concepts of author and inventor. Can the historic valorisation of the author and inventor survive the machine logics mobilised through Open Science enhanced by AI, as we change the way we commodify knowledge relations in the global pursuit of innovation?
Kathy Bowrey is a Professor in the School of Law, Society and Criminology, Faculty of Law & Justice, University of New South Wales, Australia, and Visiting Scholar at Warwick Law School, June 2025.
