Welcome to Europeana plenary 2009 website.

Europeana is about ideas and inspiration. Europeana plenary 2009 "Creation, Collaboration & Copyright" will bring ideas and inspiration to the next level – it will explore different possibilities of content re-use, mash-up and APIs. The plenary will also address public domain and associated copyright issues.

Charles Leadbeater will be the keynote speaker. Author of the book We Think and the recent essay The Art of With, Charles is one of Europe's most creative thinkers on collaboration, innovation and information.

If you have further questions or experience problems with registration, please email Aisulu Aldasheva.




The conference was very successful, and we will put the papers online as soon as possible.
