Written by Dr. Matthew Munday, director of debate at The Westminster Schools, the 2024-25 IPPF Topic Primer is a valuable tool that helps introduce teams to various research on this year's topic, "Resolved: Equitable access to pharmaceuticals should be prioritized over protecting intellectual property rights." 

​

It is important to remember, however, that the IPPF Topic Primer does not represent an official declaration of the scope or intent of the topic. 

 

In other words, independent research is highly recommended and valued by the judges!
