After Communia successfully organised four online Salons discussing the new EU Directive on copyright and related rights in digital single market in 2020, it continues with the good practice in 2021 as well, and will organise the fifth Communia Salon on the role of ex-ante user rights safeguards in implementing Article 17 on 26 January. Welcome!
At the Salon, the discussion will revolve around the controversial Art 17 DSM Directive and especially about the need for the implementation of ex-ante user rights safeguards that would prevent legitimate uploads from being automatically blocked.

The Salon will be moderated by Alek Tarkowski (COMMUNIA/Open Future), after the individual presentations, an informal question and answer session, led by Paul Keller (COMMUNIA/Open Future) will follow.
The event will take place on 26 January 2021 from 15:30 and 17:00 on Zoom, prior registration is required, you can register here. Welcome!

We invite you to the fourth Open Knowledge Day and the workshop, which will take place this year within the framework of the programme and with the support of Knowledge Rights 21. The event will bring together experts from different European countries to discuss two topics: the first part will deal with the legal basis for data analytics, which is a key part of machine learning and related artificial intelligence, and the general exception for research. In the second part, open science in theory and practice will be presented both in Slovenia and in some Western Balkan countries. Representatives of research and educational institutions from Slovenia and the Western Balkan countries, as well as interested members of the public, are invited to attend.
