HPNLU is organizing a 2-day on Multidisciplinary Conference on Women & IP: Innovation and Creativity on April 26-27, 2023
About the University
The Himachal Pradesh National Law University (HPNLU, Shimla), was established by the State Government in the year 2016, by an Act of the Legislature (Act 16 of 2016).
About the Conference
Women are making significant contributions to various fields and industries, including science, creativity, and business. In the field of science, women are driving breakthroughs and leading important research studies.
For example, Dr. Jennifer Doudna, a biochemist and molecular biologist, won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work on the CRISPR gene-editing technique. Women are also setting new creative trends in areas such as fashion, design, and art.
For instance, Anna Wintour, the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, is a highly influential figure in the fashion industry and has helped to launch the careers of many designers. Moreover, women are building businesses and transforming industries by introducing new products, services, and business models.
One example is Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, a highly successful shapewear company that she built from the ground up. Through their contributions, women are pushing the boundaries of what is possible and driving progress in our world. However, despite these achievements, women still face significant barriers and inequalities, such as the gender pay gap and underrepresentation in leadership positions.
