Figure 4 below shows the total number of sponsored participants (beneficiaries of full scholarships) under the Joint Master Programs in 2013 as compared to 2012 and 2011. As shown in Figure 4, in the reporting period a total of 95 students received scholarships as compared to a total of 72 persons in 2012 and 68 in 2011(an increase of 31.9 per cent and 39.7 per cent, respectively). As in previous years, the WIPO scholarships covered the cost of travel, accommodation, medical insurance and tuition fees. Figure 4: Total Number of Participants in Joint Master Program by year, 2011-2013

Figure 5 below illustrates the geographical distribution of participants in Joint Master Programs, as compared to 2012. As shown in Figure 5, in 2013, students from Africa were 43 or 45 per cent, from Asia-Pacific 21 or 22 per cent and from Latin America 21 or 22 per cent. This geographical distribution is explained by the fact that Joint Master Programs are regional in vocation and that out of six, four are located in Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions. The increase in the number of participants from Latin America is due to the launch in 2013 of a new Master on Intellectual Property (MIP) jointly offered by the WIPO Academy and the Austral University, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
