Sharing Knowledge and Access to Intellectual Property in the Internet Age

Over two sessions, discussants will debate a number of key issues in the field of copyright and IP. The aim is to take stock of progress made and to produce a number of recommendations for the new European Commission due next year.

Key questions will include:

- Is the EU copyright and IP acquis, plus that proposed, sufficient and appropriate?

- Will the CRM Directive deliver?

- What progress is being made with the Licensing for Europe dialogue and what issues are the discussions highlighting?

- How is the EU interacting with international bodies and countries?

- What new business models are emerging?

- What recommendations might be made for the new Commission and Parliament?
