The Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market greatly facilitates important activities, such as text and data mining or online teaching in cross-border settings.  The value of these provisions is clearer than ever. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we have all witnessed a shift to the digital environment and it is clear that online learning and research are here to stay.

Communia, Wikimedia Deutschland, and the Right to Research in International Copyright Law Project will host a distinguished panel to discuss the Directive, and how the rules could be adopted outside of Europe.  

Panel: 

• Marco Giorello
  Head of the Copyright Unit at the European Commission, DG CNECT
• Ruth L. Okediji
  Jeremiah Smith. Jr. Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and Co-Director of the Berkman Klein Center
• Erry Prasetyo
  Intellectual Property and Trade Disputes Officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia 
• Catherine Stihler
  Chief Executive Officer at Creative Commons
