BEDA in DesignEuropa Awards 2024 Jury
The DesignEuropa Awards, now in their fifth edition, are organised by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to give recognition to products and designers in the field of industrial design.
The awards pay tribute to designs that are protected as registered Community designs. Managed by the EUIPO, the registered Community design is an intellectual property right that grants exclusive protection to the appearance of a product throughout all EU Member States.
BEDA is continuously supporting the DesignEurope Awards by being an active part of the jury team. This year the jury team has three jury members who are/have been BEDA Presidents – current President Christina Melander and Past Presidents Isabelle Vérilhac and Päivi Tahkokalli.
Jury members are drawn from the fields of design, business and intellectual property rights. They are all recognised leaders in their respective areas of specialisation and bring a wealth of expertise gained throughout their professional careers.
