PIJIP has been collecting first-hand accounts of last month's meeting of WIPO's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) by a civil society coalition on Access to Knowledge. Our Right to Research in International Copyright project works closely with these groups and experts to advance discussions of copyright user rights at the SCCR.
