To celebrate the public domain and draw attention to the barriers that often still stand in the way of opening up these materials, we co-organise the annual Public Domain Day. In 2026, we will celebrate the public domain on 15 January at the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR) in Brussels, with numerous partners, local and international.
