On Wednesday, 5 April 2023, the first meeting of the Council of the Slovenian Open Science Community took place.
The creation of the Slovenian Open Science Community is not a new joint organisation or consortium of institutions or any other form of formal association, but a voluntary platform for collaboration, coordination and the creation of a critical mass for the unification of infrastructure, services, education and skills, with the aim of achieving sustainability and strengthening collaboration.
The Intellectual Property Institute and the Open Data and Intellectual Property Institute are members of the Community, and Dr Maja Bogataj Jančič attended the meeting in this capacity. She presented the European Research Area Action 2 group (to which she was appointed on 26.1.2023 by the Ministry of Higer education, Science and Innovation): A research-appropriate EU legislative and regulatory framework on copyright and data. It is worth noting that the work of the Knowledge Rights 21 network, which brings together individual national coordinators for access to research data at the international level, is particularly relevant to the activities of the Slovenian Open Science Community as well.
In June 2024, the Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21) network and Communia, published research findings in a publication entitled Copyright as an Access Right: Concretizing Positive Obligations for Rightholders to Ensure the Exercise of User Rights, which was authored by professors Christophe Geiger and Bernd Justin Jütte.
On Thursday, July 4, 2024, TV SLO 1 aired a new show Conversations about the Future with the subtitle Alternative Futures, in which three guests reflected on the dilemmas and opportunities of an increasingly digitized society. In addition to Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič from ODIPI, were also anthropologists Dr. Dan Podjed from ZRC SAZU and computer engineer Dr. Blaž Zupan from the Faculty of Computer Science and Informatics UL.
In the first week of July 2024, the Summer Course on International Copyright Law and Policy took place in Amsterdam, which was also attended by the young researcher Laura Pipan from ODIPI.
On Friday, June 14, 2024, the second day of the Global Conference on AI and Human Rights took place at the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana. Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič gave a lecture as part of the 14th panel entitled AI and Intellectual Property: Revolution or Robbery?
