Global Expert Network on Copyright User Rights Network Symposium
Public Symposium: June 13, 2024 - REGISTRATION
Private Workshops: June 12 and 14, 2024
American University’s Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property invites you to participate in this year’s annual meeting and Symposium of the Global Expert Network on Copyright User Rights – an international network of over 130 copyright professors from over 80 countries around the world. This year’s meeting will take place June 11-14, 2024, at American University Washington College of Law in Washington DC.
The theme of this year’s meeting is creating a scholarship agenda on copyright and the rights of scientific researchers, including to use modern digital methodologies such as computational research (aka “text and data mining”). Subtopics will include:
- copyright limitations and exceptions (L&E) design;
- protection of L&E from contract override;
- human rights litigation strategies;
- compulsory, extended collective licenses, and fair remuneration;
- author rights to retention, reversion and secondary publication;
- empirical evidence of impact (including quantitative and qualitative).
Participants may publish accepted working papers for PIJIP’s Research Papers Series and will be considered for a future book project.
This year’s meeting will feature private workshops on works in progress (June 11), public presentations of finished or published research (June 12), and research planning discussions with policy advocates to set an agenda to guide investments in future scholarship (June 13). We will also hold the Advisory Board Meeting of the Right to Research Project and the Member Meeting of the Global Expert Network on Copyright User Rights (June 14).
Priority expressions of interest in presenting at the meeting are due by March 22 23:59/11:59PM your local time https://form.jotform.com/pijip/user-rights-interest
