-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Ph.D. Interview Request Datum: Tue, 10 Jan 2023 12:14:20 +0100 Von: Laila Vivas laila.vivas@bc3research.org An: johanna.eckhardt@no-patents-on-seeds.org, info@no-patents-on-seeds.org

To whom it may concern,

My name is Laila Vivas and I am a Ph.D. researcher and climate activist from Barcelona, Spain. I research at the Basque centre for Climate Change (BC3). My research focuses on environmental justice and I am particularly analysing a case study on trans-scalar agricultural relations, looking at three scales:

* UPOV as a regulatory scale in the macro level; * local farming in a region in Barcelona as a geographical and experienced (social) scale in the meso level; * and a species of Artichoke as a biological scale within the micro level.

I am contacting your organization since I am researching UPOV and IPRs, and I would like to learn more on your perspective on how these systems affect other levels and scales. I was wondering if it would be possible to carry out an interview with someone from your organization for this purpose. If it were so, I could send more information regarding my research project (and guiding questions).

Thank-you for your attention.

Best regards,

Laila
