AIDB is a founding partner and member of CEPIUG, the Confederation of European Patent Information User Groups, which is the confederation of patent information specialist associations from the European countries. Since November 2025, AIDB has been represented on the CEPIUG Board by member Viviana Opinato. In this section, you can view materials related to CEPIUG meetings and activities.

Specifically, the subsections contain all the information regarding the two conferences celebrating the 10th and 15th anniversaries of the Confederation, respectively, both of which were organized by AIDB at the Politecnico di Milano. Information about the event is also available on the CEPIUG website.

The CEPIUG Regulations have recently been amended; here is the new 2025 edition.

In September 2015, a third conference organized by the TURPIUG group was held at Bilgi University in Istanbul, and an upcoming conference organized by the French-speaking CFIB group was announced; it will take place in Strasbourg in 2028 to mark the Confederation’s 20th anniversary.

Here you will find the conference program, the abstracts of the presentations, and the speakers’ biographies.
