Copyright Community Work Plan
The Europeana Copyright Community is one of the Europeana Network Association's specialist communities. Explore their work plan for the coming year. If you are not already a member, you can also join the Europeana Copyright Community through the Europeana Network Association.
The aspirations of the Copyright Community are to support the Europeana Initiative in the development of policies for the functioning of the common European data space for cultural heritage in the area of copyright and promote open access to digital heritage, as well as to facilitate the adoption and implementation of adequate licensing and open access policies, through for example training resources.
The Copyright Community also aspires to aid practitioners in the cultural heritage sector to understand and navigate copyright in materials in their collections, to help them advocate for adequate institutional support around copyright and open access, and to provide guidance around how to contribute to adequate legal frameworks for the heritage sector in the countries across the EU.
