Understanding The Emergent Regulatory Framework Governing Public Sector Data ESF Exploratory Workshop - SCSS <http://www.esf.org/activities/exploratory-workshops/workshops-list/workshops...> Convened by: Mireille Marie Madeleine van Eechoud (NL), Lionel Bently (UK), Jos Dumortier (BE), Katleen Janssen (BE) Location: 7-9 November 2012, Amsterdam, Netherlands *Prof. Marco Ricolfi will hold a presentation on the topic of Intellectual Property* Information is the currency of democracy, so it is said. Emanating from different sources and informed by an array of policy objectives, the law on public information is mushrooming and rapidly becoming complex. So is the potential for inconsistencies and conflicting norms. This workshop brings together legal scholars from different disciplines to debate the contours of this new field of research, and explore which legal theories and methodologies can take us forward to a better understanding of the myriad legal issues implicated in access, dissemination and use of public sector data and the way they relate.
