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.

The Europeana plenary 2009 will take place at Museon, museum about science and our environment. Museon's collections tell the fascinating story of humanity and our world in word, photo, film and sound. It is located in one of the most beautiful districts of The Hague, alongside the Gemeentemuseum, The Hague's world-class art and design museum. The building itself was designed by the famous Rotterdam architect, Wim G. Quist, also known as 'the Netherlands museum builder'.Photo: Museon complex
