This conference will be held at
the European Parliament in Brussels.
Directive 2001/29/EC of 22 may
2001 on copyright and related rights in the information society
has turned 10 years last May. To mark this birthday, the CRIDS (University
of Namur) and the IViR (University of Amsterdam) jointly
organize a conference in Brussels on the 13th of January 2012,
with the collaboration of the European Parliament. The overall
objective of this event will be to assess the achivement of the
objectives of the Information Society Directive and to discuss
the next steps to undertake to promote creativity in the digital
age. Has the Directive been a success ? What is
still missing to foster a thriving European market for cultural
products and an inclusive knowledge society ?
At the end of the conference,
the European Copyright Society will be launched by a number of
European academics. With the rapid growth of an important body
of harmonized copyright law, the need for an independent
academic society is increasingly felt. The European Copyright
Society aspires to provide a platform for unbiased scholarly
debate on European copyright issues, and to give a voice to the
academic community in this highly politicized field.
