What are the most recent policy and legislative trends in EU’s digital agenda? What have been the most recent efforts of EU to foster the digitization and digital accessibility of cultural content? How flexible are the legal landscapes of EU Member States in responding to such current trends?
In this IPeers seminar, the H2020 project reCreating Europe’s Magali Contardi (Research Fellow, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) and Pelin Turan (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) will reflect on the comprehensive research and analysis conducted by the reCreating Europe Consortium in particular in the context of the CDSM Directive. In their presentation, they will focus particularly on Articles 3-4 (text and data mining) and Article 6 (preservation of cultural heritage) of the Directive. While sharing the interim results of reCreating Europe on the state of the art in the DSM, they will also provide insights into the national transposition strategies of EU Member States - thus, the level of harmonization (or, fragmentation) in research and cultural preservation sectors across Europe.
This seminar will be held hybrid.

About the Project
ReCreating Europe aims at eliminating the barriers to the access to, use and generation of cultural and creative content in the Digital Single Market (DSM), by offering a ground-breaking and comprehensive analysis of the understanding and management of IP in the DSM. The project articulates its research around four main groups of activities and goals: mapping, measuring, assessing technologies, and shaping the future of digital copyright and digital culture and creativity. To achieve this end, it brings researchers, libraries, copyright experts, policymakers, and other stakeholders together in order to clarify what is needed for a regulatory framework which supports culturally-diverse production, inclusive access, and consumption. The project is led and coordinated by Prof. Caterina Sganga (Associate Professor at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Team Coordinator of reCreating Europe; Former Associate Professor at Central Europe University).
