Public Domain Day 2025
This event, organised collaboratively between Europeana, Creative Commons, Communia, Meemoo, KBR, Wikimedia Belgium and Wikimedia Europe, celebrates Public Domain Day in 2025.
Every year, new works enter the public domain as copyright protection – which lasts for 70 years after the author’s death in Belgium – expires. For heritage institutions, this is prime material for enabling reuse. Public Domain Day provides the heritage sector with a platform to showcase their open collections and to share recent achievements, best practices, and future plans with the world.
