Dear Friends,

Warm wishes on International Design Day 2026!

This year, we celebrate the inspiring theme "The Spaces In Between."

When we think about design, we often focus on what we can see: products, buildings, graphics, technologies, and services. Yet some of the most meaningful outcomes of design are found in the connections it creates between people, ideas, cultures, and communities.

This theme encourages us to reflect on the many spaces that shape our lives. These may be physical spaces where people gather, digital spaces where ideas are exchanged, or emotional spaces where understanding and trust are built. They are the places where conversations begin, relationships grow, and new possibilities emerge.

In a world that is changing rapidly, design can help bring people together. It can encourage dialogue, promote inclusion, and create environments where everyone feels welcome and valued. Through thoughtful design, we can make everyday experiences more meaningful and help build stronger communities.

On this special day, let us celebrate the designers, educators, innovators, and creative thinkers who continue to make a positive difference through their work. Let us remain curious, compassionate, and committed to creating spaces that connect rather than divide.

As we mark International Design Day 2026, let us remember that great design is not only about what we create. It is also about the connections we nurture and the experiences we share along the way.

May we continue to design with purpose, collaborate with openness, and create a future where everyone has a place to belong.

With best regards,

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

 

Dear Friends,

Best Wishes on World Intellectual Property Day 2026!

As we join the global community in celebrating World Intellectual Property Day on April 26, 2026, we embrace this year's inspiring theme: "IP and Sports: Ready, Set, Innovate."

Sport has a unique power to inspire, unite, and bring people together across borders, cultures, and generations. Behind every sporting achievement, breakthrough technology, iconic brand, and unforgettable fan experience lies a spirit of innovation supported by intellectual property.

From advanced sports equipment and wearable technologies to broadcasting platforms, trademarks, designs, and creative content, intellectual property plays a vital role in driving progress throughout the sporting ecosystem. It encourages inventors, creators, entrepreneurs, athletes, and organizations to push boundaries, improve performance, and create new opportunities.

This World IP Day, we celebrate the innovators and visionaries whose ideas are transforming the future of sports. Their creativity not only enhances athletic performance and fan engagement but also contributes to economic growth, technological advancement, and social development.

Intellectual property is more than a legal framework. It is a catalyst for innovation, investment, and collaboration. By recognizing and respecting IP rights, we help create an environment where new ideas can flourish and where creativity and entrepreneurship are rewarded.

Let us take this opportunity to appreciate the role of IP in shaping a dynamic and inclusive future for sports and beyond. Whether on the field, in the laboratory, in the design studio, or behind the scenes, innovation continues to redefine what is possible.

As we celebrate World Intellectual Property Day 2026, let us champion creativity, encourage innovation, and support those whose ideas inspire progress around the world.

Ready. Set. Innovate.

With best regards,

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

Dear Friends,

Warm wishes on World Book and Copyright Day 2026!

On this April 23rd, we come together to celebrate the enduring power of books and the creators whose words continue to inspire, educate, and connect people across the world.

This year, the global focus highlights the importance of multilingualism, cultural diversity, and access to books for everyone. Books are bridges that connect generations, cultures, and communities. They help us understand different perspectives, preserve knowledge, and foster meaningful dialogue across languages and borders.

In an increasingly interconnected world, literature remains one of humanity's greatest tools for learning and understanding. Whether written in global languages or local dialects, every book carries stories, ideas, and experiences that enrich our collective human journey. By promoting reading and expanding access to knowledge, we empower individuals and strengthen societies.

Today, we also recognize the invaluable contributions of authors, poets, illustrators, translators, publishers, librarians, and educators who bring knowledge and creativity to life. Their efforts ensure that stories continue to travel across cultures and generations.

Copyright plays a vital role in this ecosystem by protecting creative expression and encouraging innovation. By respecting intellectual property rights, we support creators and help sustain a vibrant literary and cultural landscape.

As we celebrate World Book and Copyright Day 2026, let us renew our commitment to reading, learning, and sharing knowledge. Let us encourage the next generation of readers, writers, and thinkers, and continue building a world where books remain accessible to all.

Together, let us celebrate the written word, embrace the richness of diverse languages and cultures, and recognize the power of books to shape a more informed, inclusive, and compassionate future.

With best regards,

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