Right to Research: Accepted Papers Workshops

AY 2021-2022

In this series of closed workshops, authors discuss extended abstracts for their accepted papers on the Right to Research in International Copyright Law. Presentations are brief (5 -7 minutes), to leave time for discussion with members of the Arcadia project's Academic Steering Committee, and members of the wider User Rights Network.
