The Geneva Centre on Knowledge Governance is a dynamic initiative under American University’s Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property and the Geneva Graduate Institute. Its mission revolves around promoting justice and sustainable development by influencing policy-making institutions that manage access to information. The Centre specializes in research, education, and technical assistance for diplomats, policymakers, and public stakeholders involved in international intellectual property rights.

Guided by the Cradle Principles on Knowledge Governance established in 2022, the Centre emphasizes a balanced approach to knowledge governance that prioritizes public interest and equitable access. With a team of experts in intellectual property law, computational research, and human rights, the Centre consistently addresses crucial issues relating to copyright, traditional knowledge, medical innovation, and access to educational resources. Its extensive programmes include tailored training, publications, and a robust network of global thought leaders. Through these efforts, the Centre strives to enhance understanding of intellectual property and promote a fair and just information society across the globe.
