  2. Prepare responses, for review by the Head of the IPTIs Program, to new requests for cooperation and support the processes to assess IP education needs from requesting countries and pre-required conditions for the project implementation.
  3. Support the design and monitor the implementation of cooperation projects jointly implemented with established IPTIs, particularly from Arab countries.
  4. Participate in the elaboration of reports, briefing notes, and background documents on ongoing projects, by preparing first drafts, collecting data, and searching information, among others.
  5. Contribute to activities organized by the IPTI network, particularly for a wider promotion of the network in Arab countries.
  6. Support the launching of collective resources to address the common needs of IPTIs, particularly from the Arab Region.
  7. Provide logistical and substantive support for the organization of meetings with key contacts in the Member States, elicit information and feedback, and give presentations on the Academy and the project activities, as required.
