Publication of the first issue of Legal Corner, the magazine for Institut Pasteur staff by the Legal Affairs Department

The Legal Affairs Department has launched a magazine entitled Legal Corner with the aim of shining a new light on legal and ethical issues and connecting more closely with all staff on campus. This new publication, written in an accessible and easy-to-understand way, covers a selection of real-world topical subjects that resonate with your concerns.

Much like the efforts to bring science closer to non-scientists, the Legal Affairs Department wants to make its own area of expertise more accessible and to spark your interest, bring a smile to your face and make you think!

Legal Corner will be published twice a year on the Legal Affairs Department space on Webcampus.

 

 

Coming up in this first issue:

 

Editorial: Message from Samuel Valcke, Vice-President Legal Affairs

Fake news: Publish now, worry about the patent later
