 Poland will be hosting the EU Presidency for the second half of 2011 - at a time when the EU is intensifying work on issues related to free culture such as data licensing, open access to scientific research, and orphan works. This therefore represents an opportunity to involve European officials and help advance the cause of open licensing in the EU.
