Summer Course on International Copyright Law & Policy 2024
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.
The summer course on international copyright law and policy is organized by the Institute for Information Law (IViR). Young researcher Laura Pipan from ODIPI was awarded a scholarship by the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP) to participate in this intensive postgraduate seminar.
During the week, the following guest professors lined up: Martin Senftleben (University of Amsterdam), Daniel Gervais (Vanderbilt University), Elena Izyumenko (University of Amsterdam), João Pedro Quintais (University of Amsterdam), Pamela Samuelson (University of California, Berkeley) , Bernt Hugenholtz (University of Amsterdam), Remy Chavannes (Brinkhof), Severine Dusollier (Sciences Po Paris), Fred von Lohmann (OpenAI), Paul Keller (Open Future) and Sean Flynn (American University, Washington). With very interesting lectures and presentations, they showed both the fundamental features and innovations of copyright law, as legislation and policy in this area are constantly changing, mainly due to the constant development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as legislative initiatives at the international and European level.
The participant gained insight into the most important current issues of copyright law, which were discussed from a comparative legal perspective and in the light of recent international and regional agreements.
