I must say the @ec.europa.eu and #EUIPO 'GI Capitals Tour' is a blast. This is a souvenir of the Dublin stop. Helping stakeholders to make the most of the new EU GI System is a real privilege and I always learn much more than I teach.

I really liked the 'Atlas of Endangered Alphabets' by Tim Brookes We discuss a lot about loss of biological diversity, and rightfully so. However, I sometimes feel like we do not pay equal attention to the loss of cultural diversity, which is equally worrying. @timbrookes.bsky.social
