This webinar introduces the EU Copyright Directive, led by Ariadna Matas of the Europeana Foundation, with Gyta Berasneviciute of the European Union Intellectual Property Office. This webinar is geared towards those working in the diverse areas represented by DRI’s members, in cultural heritage, the humanities, and the social sciences.

The session:

- Provides an overview of the relevant articles in the Directive. This focuses on: the provisions on text and data mining; preservation; education; out of commerce works; and the public domain.

- Gives examples of what might change relating to specific activities, and the options that national policy-makers can rely on.

- Demonstrates the Out-of-commerce portal that institutions will have to go through to be able to rely on the provisions.
