The Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information calls research institutions to unite around shared principles for open data and metadata and a commitment to developing an open research data infrastructure. 👩‍🔬

It has become increasingly common for publishers to limit access to #eBooks by imposing highly restrictive licensing conditions, demanding excessive prices, or simply denying licenses. This needs to stop. Join us in two weeks for our salon!

The current legal framework doesn’t enable libraries to play their crucial role in ensuring access to knowledge & culture in the digital environment. Join us on wed 29/05 from 15-16h for our salon on e-lending to learn what needs to be done! Register here https://t.co/V4oi2qW9V0

New COMMUNIA policy paper proposes measures to make #OpenAccess mandatory for publicly funded research!

[communia @communia_eu]

To make #openaccess mandatory for publicly funded research, we recommend a secondary publication obligation & right as well as a #copyright exception for knowledge institutions, part of a #digitalknowledgeact for knowledge institutions! https://t.co/RB78sA10OT

[communia @communia_eu]

Our member Wikimedia Europe argues we that we need a #DigitalKnowledgeAct to address the risks of #AI and threats of misinformation and disinformation. Read more about their point of view here: https://t.co/p9iIqhk5ul #openknowledge #openscience

[communia @communia_eu]

Last week we kicked-off the conversation about a #DigitalKnowledgeAct for #EU #research & other public interest activities at our “Unlocking Knowledge Conference”. If you were unable to make it or would like to rewatch, the recording is now available! https://t.co/hQgqvkj1PY

We join @creativecommons in congratulating @GettyMuseum for releasing 88k+ images with #CC0 in line with CC's #OpenCulture efforts as well as our recommendations: https://t.co/0bV4JtRXGf #openGLAM

On the 2nd panel about the future of the #publicdomain at #publicdomainday EU @tenobre from @communia_eu argues there are still so many conversations to have on expanding the PD. Read their paper on public sector documents: https://t.co/gdgPe153cR #publicdomainday

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

At the 2nd panel of #publicdomainday EU @teresanobre and @mzeinstra discuss compliance with #TDM from a practical vs. a policy perspective. @communia_eu advocates that cultural heritage institutions need limitations to liability!

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

The last panel of #publicdomainday Europe closes with a panel discussion on emerging perspectives on the future of the #publicdomain

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

@mzeinstra from #europeana talks about new challenges concerning the #publicdomain at #publicdomainday EU: 3D, #TDM, #dogitalborn, cultural heritage laws, contractual override, etc. & invites you to join the #europeana copyright community! https://t.co/eDXaNhiJjT.

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

@teresanobre reacts to @eozgeyildirim's presentation about #postcolonialpublicdomain: maybe we should reframe knowledge conceptually away from #IP to conclude that TK is not a carve-out of the #PubicDomain. Access to works and TK is mediated by different systems #publicdomainday

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

The roundtable conversation at #publicdomainday EU discusses how we can guarantee equal access to the commons in the face of current developments such as encroachment on pd works through other legal frameworks but also use of pd works in #AI applications. #publiekdomeindag

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

@CultureDoug tells us about losing money, trying to make money by licensing #publicdomain art by #museums and urges the sector to think about the #opportunitycost to their mission @PublicDomainDay Europe @kbrbe

[communia @communia_eu]

EU researchers are often unable to remotely access and reuse the resources they need. Read about Jonas’ experience navigating the obstacles to accessing @kungbib resources in our publication "Nobody puts research in a cage": https://t.co/v6AqhqjFdK

[communia @communia_eu]

The reality of contemporary research practice calls for a EU-wide #copyright exception, in addition to the existing TDM exceptions. Read our publication, illustrating issues with research transparency, difficulties complying with #openaccess & cross-border initiatives!

[communia @communia_eu]

#Europe needs to exclude public sector documents and public speeches from #copyright protection. Let’s make sure there is public access to public sector works! Find out more in our new policy paper. #fixcopyright #opengovernment #opendata https://t.co/kDuxwV2Q9J

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

Excited to join #COMMUNIA_eu until end of may working on challenges in #openscience! 🙌

[communia @communia_eu]

We are thrilled to announce that @samdonvil is joining COMMUNIA as a Policy Fellow until the end of May!👏

Sam will be working with us on developing solutions to the copyright-related challenges that knowledge institutions face in the digital environment.

After the theory the practice: @LN_ist shows us examples of registration of rights on heritage collections and communicating these to the public through #rightsstatements, #licences, user guidelines, etc. @meemoo_be #openglam

[Sam Donvil @samdonvil]

@bartdeelt kicks off @meemoo's 2nd open cultural data bootcamp: what is open? What is the #public domain? How to deal with uncertain rights statuses, etc. #openglam
