Academic Journal Articles on the Findings of Research

This report constitutes one of the major deliverables of the H2020 project, reCreating Europe: Rethinking digital copyright law for a culturally diverse, accessible, creative Europe, elaborating on the key findings of the scientific research pursued by Work Package 2 (WP2), led by Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (SSSA) (Pisa, Italy), and Work Package 5 (WP5), led by University of Trento (UNITN) (Trento, Italy), over the lifespan of the Project. reCreating Europe is dedicated to the democratisation of the EU copyright acquis by finding and promoting the ways in which the European regulatory framework can support culturallydiverse production, inclusive access to and consumption of analogue and digital cultural content. In line with its overarching aims and objectives, the Project organises its research and work under five substantive WPs, each of which focus on a disparate group of stakeholders. Within this organisation, WP2 focuses on end-user perspectives to copyright and the public domain, whereas WP5 concentrates on the intellectual property (IP) related needs and concerns of cultural heritage institutions (CHIs). Drawing upon the conclusions reached within the reports and other deliverables previously drafted and published by WP2 and WP5, this report presents an academic publication, which has already been published in European Intellectual Property Review (EIPR), in its Annex, and refers to another academic publication to be submitted for peer-review. It is worth noting that both publications correspond to Task 2.1 of WP2, and Tasks 5.1 and 5.2 falling under the workload of WP5. Therefore, the publications compiled and disseminated herein are centred around the needs and expectations of end-users and CHIs. They are in search for an answer to what extent the EU copyright acquis provides for a user-friendly or accessible legal landscape to reinforce and further facilitate public’s access to cultural content, thus, safeguard the right to participate in culture
