Boston University Press Release, Link

Boston University’s Global Development Policy Center (GDP Center) established a working group of global scholars to identify the state of the current research, existing gaps in the data, and establishing a policy-oriented research agenda on trade treaties and access to medicines.

The working group’s NEW report Rethinking Trade Treaties and Access to Medicines: Toward a Policy-Oriented Research Agenda synthesizes the state of knowledge on trade and investment treaties on access to medicines and advances a policy oriented research agenda intended to help policy-makers, civil society, and others make more informed decisions as they debate contemporary trade and investment treaties.

The GDP Center is hosting a global webinar at the GDP Center on Wednesday, November 13 from 9-11AM to launch the latest GDP Center report Rethinking Trade Treaties and Access to Medicines: Toward a Policy-Oriented Research Agenda hosted by the Trade & Medicines Working Group.

The webinar will feature presentations from members of the working group, as well as responses from renowned experts such as Sakiko Fukuda-Parr (High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines) and Peter Maybarduk from Public Citizen.
