The Program is organized by the University of Turin, in collaboration with WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) and SAA (School of Management). It is managed by COREP.

The course began more then twenty years ago, as collaboration between WIPO and the University of Turin. Organisational support was provided by the ITCILO (International Training Centre of the ILO), and since 2022 has been provided by SAA (School of Management) and COREP (Consorzio per la Ricerca e l'Educazione Permanente). The program has now broadened its reach to include the needs of SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and entrepreneurial organizations.
