Focus

Apart from the regular work, defined by the Memorandum of Understanding, CC Slovenia will focus on three major tasks:

Argumentative Tools (Individual Approach)

The usage of the CC licences in Slovenia has been increasing (especially in the fields of non-profit media and on-line publishing, nevertheless, the basic issue remains the author's incapability to reject the unfavourable conditions, dictated by the industry (all right reserved) and to be able to negotiate for a better deal. In 2011-2012 we intend to focus on providing argumentative tools for them in the form of an on-line and printed manual as well as with public debates in partnership with the Peace Institute and Centre for Contemporary Arts-Ljubljana.

Free Archives (Institutional Approach)

Apart from the individual author's the need to rethink the copyright policies is experienced by the public institutions such as archives, libraries, and museums. Through close collaboration with Ministry of Culture and National University Library (and according to the Europeana standards) we have been addressing these institutions, introducing them to the alternative licensing possibilities and developing a case of good practice - a national bank of free images which will reach some 3000 objects by the end of 2012.

Free Cultural Policies

In collaboration with the Ministry of Culture we are preparing a case of good practice for national on-line publishing and promotion of culture. The tools and portals that LJUDMILA has been developing will be presented as a role model to the IFACCA (International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture) members already in 2011. The basic goal is to encourage the governments to share and complement the free content as well as to secure the interoperability, also with the help of CC licences.


More about Intellectual Property Institute

The Intellectual Property Institute (IPI) is a research, academic and training institution in the field of intellectual property law. It was founded in 2004 and is the first institution of its kind in Slovenia. The Institute conducts research, provides education and offers training opportunities in the field of intellectual property law. The primary focus of its activities is to explore the challenges that digitalisation has brought to intellectual property law and are important for the progress of an information-based society. The Institute aims to work in close cooperation with Slovenian universities, research institutions, industry, art centres and civil society groups. Its aim is to create a strong network of partnership with researchers and research institutions at home and abroad. Since its recent founding, the Institute has participated in many discussions regarding various intellectual property issues, and managed to mark the landscape of the debate with its perspective.

More about LJUDMILA

Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory was established in 2010 by 10 new & all media artists, developers, hackers, programmers, and computer engineers, previously engaged in the Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab, a programme of KUD France Prešeren Arts and Culture Association.

LJUDMILA is a successor of the media lab established in 1994 and has extensive experience connecting new media technologies and artistic projects as well as encouraging broader, savvier and more creative uses of new technologies. Ljudmila is devoted to free software, open source programming and promotes free culture.

Initially funded by the OSI-Slovenia Internet program, LJUDMILA has grown into a well-equipped digital media lab that focuses on digital production as well as education, research and development of open standards software. It also provides knowledge, equipment, Internet access, web sites, electronic publishing and other affordable networking services to non-governmental and non-profit organizations, art collectives, active individuals, and others.
