 Dear Friends,

Warm wishes on International Design Day 2025!

This year, we celebrate under the inspiring and bold theme: “Outlandish Optimism.” It’s a powerful call to reimagine our world—not by dwelling in despair, but by daring to design hope.

In a time when global challenges can feel overwhelming, outlandish optimism invites us to challenge dominant narratives, break old myths, and use design as a force for radical positivity. It’s about embracing creativity as an act of courage and using design to tell new stories—stories that envision alternate, inclusive, and regenerative futures.

Design is more than aesthetics—it’s a tool for transformation. Through it, we can reframe possibilities, empower communities, and imagine systems that prioritize people and the planet. This theme reminds us that optimism isn’t naive—it’s necessary.

Let’s celebrate the dreamers, thinkers, makers, and doers who dare to believe in better. Let’s design with intention, lead with empathy, and shape narratives that inspire action.

Here’s to choosing hope over fear, creativity over cynicism, and bold ideas over the status quo.

Let’s make optimism not just an attitude, but a design strategy.

With best regards,

Prof. (Dr.) Amit Kumar Tiwari & Elvira Volkova

Dear Friends,

Best Wishes on World Intellectual Property Day 2025!

As we join the global community in celebrating World Intellectual Property Day on April 26, 2025, we tune into this year’s inspiring theme: “Music and IP: Feel the Beat of IP.” Music moves us, unites us, and speaks across cultures and generations. Behind every beat, melody, and lyric is a creator whose talent and innovation deserve recognition, protection, and support.

In his message, WIPO Director General Daren Tang calls for action to champion creators and ensure that intellectual property empowers them to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world. Today, we echo that call—because creativity fuels progress, and IP is the rhythm that keeps it alive.

Music is more than entertainment—it's a driver of social cohesion, economic development, and cultural identity. And as we strive toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we must amplify the voices of artists, composers, and performers who contribute to our shared human story.

Let’s use this moment to reflect on how IP not only protects creators but also inspires innovation, nurtures talent, and fosters collaboration. By recognizing and respecting IP rights, we support an ecosystem where creativity can flourish, and where every creator—no matter where they are—has the opportunity to be heard.

Let’s feel the beat, support the creators, and celebrate the power of IP to shape a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.

Thank you to all those who continue to drive innovation and creativity. Your passion shapes the soundtrack of our world.

With best regards,

Prof. (Dr.) Amit Kumar Tiwari & Elvira Volkova

Dear Friends,

Warm wishes on World Book and Copyright Day 2025!

On this April 23rd, we celebrate World Book and Copyright Day, also known as International Book Day—a tribute to the power of books, the value of literature, and the enduring impact of the written word on humanity.

This year’s theme, “The role of literature in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” reminds us that books are more than sources of knowledge and imagination—they are agents of change. Literature nurtures empathy, promotes understanding, and inspires action. It brings global issues into focus and offers the wisdom and courage needed to address them.

From climate action to quality education, gender equality to peace and justice, literature gives voice to the hopes and challenges of people around the world. By fostering inclusive dialogue and lifelong learning, books play a powerful role in building a sustainable and equitable future.

On this special day, we also honor the creators—authors, poets, illustrators, publishers, and translators—who bring stories to life and preserve cultural identities. Copyright ensures their work is respected, protected, and shared responsibly, enabling literature to flourish across borders and generations.

Let us reaffirm our commitment to reading, writing, and protecting intellectual and creative freedom. Let us celebrate books not just as stories, but as bridges—to each other, and to a better world.

Together, let’s read, reflect, and rise—to shape a future inspired by words, wisdom, and wonder.

With best regards,

Prof. (Dr.) Amit Kumar Tiwari & Elvira Volkova

Dear Friends,

Warm wishes on World Creativity and Innovation Day 2025!

Celebrated every year on April 21st, World Creativity and Innovation Day is a global recognition of the power of human imagination to solve problems, drive progress, and shape a better world. This year’s theme, “Step Out and Innovate,” encourages each of us—individuals, communities, and organizations—to embrace our creative potential and take bold steps toward positive change.

Creativity and innovation are essential tools for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Whether it's rethinking systems, designing inclusive solutions, or developing technologies that heal and empower, innovation starts when we dare to think differently and act with purpose.

This theme is a call to move beyond comfort zones—to take risks, question the norm, and co-create solutions that are as imaginative as they are impactful. No idea is too small, and no action is insignificant when it comes to building a better future.

Let us celebrate the inventors, artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, and everyday visionaries who step up and innovate for people and the planet. And let us commit to nurturing spaces where creativity can thrive—because innovation begins when we give ourselves permission to imagine.

Today, let’s step out, stand tall in our creativity, and innovate with courage—for a world that works better for everyone.

With best regards,

Prof. (Dr.) Amit Kumar Tiwari & Elvira Volkova

Dear Friends,

Best Wishes on World Intellectual Property Day 2024!

As we celebrate World Intellectual Property Day on April 26, 2024, we're reminded of the crucial role intellectual property (IP) plays in fostering innovation and creativity, essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In our quest for a sustainable future, we face diverse challenges that demand innovative solutions. The SDGs guide us, encompassing aspirations for people, peace, prosperity, and our planet, requiring holistic approaches. At this juncture, we must harness the power of intellectual property to propel human progress. IP incentivizes innovation, facilitates knowledge sharing, and drives solutions to global challenges. By leveraging IP, we can amplify efforts to build a sustainable future for all. Let's seize this opportunity to explore how intellectual property aligns with the SDGs and contributes to our mission of creating a better world. Together, let's innovate, create, and collaborate to unlock the full potential of intellectual property for positive change. Thank you to all innovation stakeholders for your dedication. 

Together, we can shape a brighter future for everyone, everywhere.

With best regards,

Prof. (Dr.) Amit Kumar Tiwari & Elvira Volkova  (Blog Contributors)
