On 10 September, the IPACST principal investigators invited the advisory board for an online meeting to assess the progress of our research. The ongoing pandemic significantly affected business and as a consequence, our interview process slowed down. However, this did not prevent us from finding some interesting links between IP and sustainability. The advisory board significantly helped us refine our research and our quest for a link between IP and sustainability. Business collaboration and knowledge sharing have become even more imperative in the aftermath of Covid-19 to tackle the crisis in a sustainable way.

The IPACST team is very thankful to the advisory board members for taking their time to listen to a rich and interesting case study research as well as for their helpful advice.
