Short story time: thought-provoking tales on disability and innovation
Listen now
Description
When dealing with disability, is gene therapy an ethical solution? Can technology encourage a more equitable world? Does society truly listen to people with a disability? In this special edition, we’ll meet several authors seeking answers to these complex questions. We’ll hear their creations before learning about the inspiration behind each tale. "Who am I?" by Brian Routledge, "L’ Expo" by Christophe Poizat and "Mosaïque" by Paule Gilis were the winning entries in EPO’s writing competition on the theme disability and innovation. The contest was open to all staff and formed part of our celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the European Patent Convention. Brian’s story also won the 2023 essay competition organised by the Brain journal and is published there (link below).    "Who am I" by Brian Routledge on epo.org "Who am I" by Brian Routledge in the "Brain" Journal "The exhibition" by Christophe Poizat on epo.org "Mosaic" by Paule Gilis on epo.org
