Communia has launched a new website!
Today, Communia is celebrating its 10th anniversary. On this occasion, Communia launched a new website, which presents the implementation of 14 policy recommendations that were issued upon the founding of Communia.
These policy recommendations became the foundation of guiding their advocacy in the last decade. Some of them have been implemented – fully or partially. Yet many remain unfulfilled, meaning that laws don’t properly support the public domain and secure user rights.
With launching its new website, Communia is pointing out how highly relevant the recommendation is, even after a decade – and how it continues to define their work on public domain advocacy.
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.
