Copyright and policy office hours are informal online sessions that seek to bring cultural heritage professionals together in discussing and addressing common challenges. On September 16th, 15-16:00 CET, professionals will talk about various examples of cultural heritage organisations measuring risk, and some tools available.

As cultural heritage institutions need to comply with copyright law, among other areas, they are faced with a lot of legal uncertainty. Just like any other area of law, some specific situations are not foreseen and therefore have no clear legal answer. Faced with these grey areas, some argue that cultural heritage professionals have a duty to bear some risk in order to fulfill the public interset mission that they are publicly funded to deliver. How can risk be measured, and when is it too much?

To the extent possible, Europeana encourages the participant to share their thoughts, examples and questions in advance through the mandatory registration form.
