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 in Geneva, Switzerland. The goal of this year’s symposium is to share research and deliberate over principles that guide protection of the public interest in the digital copyright issues WIPO is considering. We seek presentations of research and views on the following:
- What principles and objectives should be promoted in an instrument on limitations and exceptions for education and research in the digital environment. See SCCR/43/8
- Analysis of the history and latest proposals of the Broadcasting Treaty, including principles and amendments to promote the public interest. SCCR/46/3
- Analysis of options to promote the public interests in copyright in the digital environment, including to protect the moral and material rights of creators such as to fair remuneration, secondary publication rights, and rights reversion. See SCCR/45/4
