The future of intellectual property Creativity and innovation in the digital era

Conference:
The future of intellectual property Creativity and innovation in the digital era
23-24 April, 2009, Committee of the Regions, Brussels
The era of digital networks has given rise to new problems
in the area of intellectual property. They include the question of how best to deal
with the massive numbers of downloads of film, music and software via peer-to-peer
file sharing, as well as copyright issues arising out of the digitalisation of entire
libraries. The conference “The future of intellectual property“, which is organised
by Goethe-Institut Brüssel, will address a range of issues that are raised by this
exciting policy area. Above all: How can the concept of intellectual property be
adapted to the realities of the digital era, and at the same time not become
outdated and inefficient?
Conference languages: English, German, French. Registration deadline: April 16th,
2009. The number of available places is limited.
