Symposium on Copyright, Contracts and Creativity

CIPPM and the Business School, host event on Friday 25 September |
This event has now concluded. Please visit the post event web page.
A Symposium on Copyright, Contracts and Creativity is being hosted by the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management (CIPPM) and the Business School at Bournemouth University on 25 September organised by Professors Martin Kretschmer and Ruth Towse.
It brings together academics, people concerned with policy and creators in the creative industries to discuss the relation between copyright law and the contracts that creators generally face with a view to better understanding common problems, especially with digital usage. The topic has been identified by the government's Strategic Advisory Board on Intellectual Property (SABIP) as one of the areas of strategic importance to the UK that could be considered in any future reform of copyright law and therefore in-depth research into it is needed. The Symposium seeks to establish what research would be appropriate.
The Symposium takes the form of short presentations by and discussions with panels of experts in various fields - literature and journalism, visual arts, photography, film and music - with a keynote speech by Rob Kirkham (Head of Copyright Contracting BBC Vision). Also participating are Joly Dixon, Chairman of SABIP, Mr Justice Arnold, Professor Richard Watt (Canterbury, NZ) as well as academics from several UK universities. There will be ample opportunity for informal participation from the floor.
The meeting is being held at BU's new Executive Business Centre in the centre of Bournemouth from 10am to 6pm (walking distance from the mainline railway station). Lunch and refreshments are being provided by the Business School and there is no fee for participation.
You are cordially invited to attend. Please email Emily Cieciura for further details and the final programme. Places are limited to 40.
