As part of ICRIER’s ongoing research and dissemination on WTO related issues ICRIER is now launching a monthly WTO seminar series. The objective of the seminar series is to identify and discuss critical WTO issues relevant for India in the ongoing Doha round and for future. This would include deliberations on the current impasse and also on the possible changing contours of the WTO in future.
This seminar series aims at providing a platform for facilitating dialogue and interaction between policy makers, academicians, industry and other stakeholders with a view to develop a shared understanding on India’s interests in the WTO. The seminar would be held at ICRIER on the third week of every month from 3.30 to 5.30 pm, subject to the availability of the speaker.
The first seminar of the series was delivered by Prof Amit Shovon Ray, on September 17th 2008 as per details given below.
