At the workshop, which will take place from 9:00 to 12:30, librarians will learn about the current legal framework, as set out in the Slovenian Copyright Act (ZASP) and the opportunities provided by the new Digital Single Market Directive (DSM Directive), which the Republic of Slovenia must implement by June 2021.
The workshop will be led by Benjamin White (Bournemouth University) and dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič (Institute for Intellectual Property). The workshop will be held in Slovenian and English without translation.

The 4th Open Knowledge Day took place on Tuesday 17 October 2023, with an accompanying workshop on 18 October 2023. This year it was organised by the Open Data and Intellectual Property Institute (ODIPI) and supported by Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21).
We invite you to the fourth Open Knowledge Day and the workshop, which will take place this year within the framework of the programme and with the support of Knowledge Rights 21. The event will bring together experts from different European countries to discuss two topics: the first part will deal with the legal basis for data analytics, which is a key part of machine learning and related artificial intelligence, and the general exception for research. In the second part, open science in theory and practice will be presented both in Slovenia and in some Western Balkan countries. Representatives of research and educational institutions from Slovenia and the Western Balkan countries, as well as interested members of the public, are invited to attend.
Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič, a renowned expert in copyright law, has joined the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where she will serve as an affiliate researcher for the next two years.
