Abstract

Abstract The digitization of museum collections raises a number of legal issues in copyright, which museums are often not aware of or are unclear about. This International Conference, held at and led by the University of Geneva, aimed to clarify these copyright issues and strengthen the dialogue between professionals dealing with digital cultural heritage worldwide. This event also launched the Policy Paper ‘Digitization of Digital Cultural Heritage and Copyright’, which was drafted by a group of scholars from different universities and institutions, and has been published on a dedicated website. It contains policy recommendations to lawmakers and policymakers, as well as a code of conduct and an alternative dispute resolution mechanism addressed to museum professionals.
