At the workshop, three websites/databases tracking the status of users’ rights and copyright flexibilities in Europe: https://www.copyrightexceptions.eu, http://www.copyrightflexibilities.eu and http://www.copyrightuser.eu will be launched. In addition, we will gather feedback on the websites’ functionality and plan their future. We will be joined by copyright experts who contributed to the mapping and stakeholders representing various groups of beneficiaries to discuss the state of copyright flexibilities and policy options at the EU and national levels. 

Represented by Teresa Nobre and Paul Keller, COMMUNIA will showcase the project copyrightexceptions.eu, a collaborative effort of COMMUNIA, Open Future and Digital Republic, mapping the European Union’s copyright framework and providing information on the national implementation of the various exceptions and limitations to copyright and related rights contained in EU copyright law.

Registration for both online and offline attendance is free of charge. Please register here.
