GRUR - 2016-09-16

REGISTER NOW: 7th GRUR Int./JIPLP Joint Seminar "(Non-)Regulation of online platforms and internet intermediaries:  state of play, visions, and next steps in Germany, UK, the Netherlands and at EU level"

The 7th GRUR Int./JIPLP Joint Seminar organized by GRUR and Oxford University Press (OUP) in the framework of their publishing and event partnership will be held at the Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum of the Humbold University of Berlin on Monday, 14 November 2016 from 13.00 - 20.00.

On 14 September 2016, the European Commission eventually presented its long-awaited legislative proposals - two directives and two regulations - aimed at reforming the EU copyright system and adapting it to the realities of the Digital Single Market. Remarkably, the reform package comprises a set of proposals regarding the liability of internet intermediaries and platform operators with the objective "to increase cultural diversity in Europe an content available online, while bringing clearer rules for all online players". Thereby, the EU has set the scene for a lively autumn debate on the much-discussed issue of "sharing of value" - and way beyond!

Confirmed speakers are: 

  • Dr Martin Husovec, Tilburg University (NL)
  • Prof. Dr Matthias Leistner, LL.M. (Cambridge), University of Bonn (DE)
  • Maria Martin-Prat, DG CONNECT, EU Commission (BE)
  • Prof. Dr Eva Obergfell, Humboldt University of Berlin (DE)
  • Prof. Dr Ansgar Ohly, Ludwig Maximiliams University of Munich (DE)
  • Prof. Dr Karl-Nikolaus Peifer, University of Cologne (DE). who will act as Chair of the Joint Seminar
  • Dr Eleonora Rosati, University of Southampton (UK)

Please note that proceedings will be held in English language without simultaneous translation. The Joint Seminar is open and free of charge. Room availability is limited to 140 seats so that we recommend an early registration. The working programme (ending at approx. 19.00) will be followed by a reception for all participants.
