Copyright and research data — Thursday, June 20

Michael Carroll, Professor of Law and Director of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at American University’s Washington College of Law and a founding Board Member of Creative Commons, will speak at “Copyright Camp 2013: Data,” scheduled for June 20. Carroll will talk about the copyright framework that applies automatically to research data, new requirements likely to come out of Washington, D.C., and the role of informal expectations in scientific disciplines in sharing data. A series of breakout sessions addressing copyright issues relevant to our institution will follow. The event is free, but registration is encouraged for planning purposes.
