We recently attended a workshop in Luxembourg as part of Communia, the EU policy network on the digital public domain. There was a focus on bringing together themes from previous events to make a series of policy recommendations to the European Commission (watch this space!).

Below are a few notes highlighting some of the talks and discussions that we thought might be of particular interest to readers here:

Dear all,

The seventh Communia workshop in Luxembourg City is approaching fast!

It’s the policy recommendation workshop and thus crucial for the goals of Communia. The working groups meet on the 31st January to finalise their recommendations. The first workshop day is a general overview of different policy fields relating to the public domain, the second day is devoted to alternative compensation systems and a policy recommendation wrap up session.

Sunday 31st January: Communia Working Group meetings (full day)
Monday 1st February: Communia Policy Workshop (full day)
Tuesday 2nd February: Communia Policy Workshop (ends at 16h)

The workshop page is at http://www.communia-project.eu/ws07
There you will also find the programme, links to the registration page, hotel and travel information and a Google map with additional info.

Please register and book your hotel (using the provided form) as soon as possible!

Very much looking forward to welcome you in Luxembourg,
