> About COMMUNIA
>
> The COMMUNIA Thematic Network aims at becoming a European point of
> reference for theoretical analysis and strategic policy discussion of
> existing and emerging issues concerning the public domain in the
> digital environment - as well as related topics, including, but not
> limited to, alternative forms of licensing for creative material;
> open access to scientific publications and research results;
> management of works whose authors are unknown (i.e. orphan works).
>
> Funded by the European Commission within the eContentplus framework,
> the 3-years long project expects to provide policy guidelines that
> will help each stakeholder involved - public and private, from the
> local to the European and global level.
>
> COMMUNIA also plans to build strategic relationships with other
> non-European countries (starting with the United States and Brazil,
> where two COMMUNIA members are located) in which similar policy
> discussions are currently underway.
