| Workshop title | School of Rock(ing) Copyright: United to #fixcopyright | Heritage gone digital - beyond legal rights |
| Description | There is an ongoing reform on the copyright legislation in the E.U. Such reforms are rare, their effects use to last for many years, and the consequences will have a direct impact on the lives of all citizens. EDRi, Communia and Wikimedia invite you to join them for this workshop on the European copyright reform, its challenges, dangers and opportunities. How do you feel having all your memes, blogposts, private videos filter by an European censorship machine? How do you feel when you cannot make copies of your own cultural content? How does copyright affect freedom of expression in our daily lives? And most importantly, what can we do together in order to change this situation where multinationals speak on behalf of authors and limit our fundamental rights? The School of Rock(ing) Copyright objectives are to shake participants and form a copyfighter action team to push users rights in the agenda of EU policy make. Do you want to be a lobbyist of a record company and lobby the EU Parliament? Do you want to become a Member State and ignore civil society groups telling you to fixcopyright? You can do all this in our fun role-playing game! In this participative workshop, we’ll learn how to decrypt EU policies and how to become an engaged citizen and winning the current battle to ensure access to culture and freedom of expression. | During the last decade or more museums around the world have invested vast resources in digitizing their archival and photographic materials and making it available on-line. During the last couple of years we have seen the beginning of a similar process to make the artefactual collections available, via 3D-scanning. During the workshop we would like to engage in conversations and questions on contested ownership rights and contexts, and on the practical challenges on serving multiple stakeholders. We would furthermore like to discuss ethical challenges and dilemmas encountered on the way to making millions of records, photographs, and artefacts omnipresent. Ownership Who owns heritage representations? Who has the decision making power when it comes to heritage objects? Legal rights & Cultural rights Contexts Records, responsibilities and the authoritative voice The international audience and the national sponsors Knowledge Knowledge creation Monopoly of meaning making (traditionally museums has had this) Scientific norms vs Crowdsourced knowledge; clashes and collaboration? Transparency? Openness of knowledge and information creation processes Wikipedia, Academia, Facebook Creativity Multi-vocality, Co-creation and towards a Third Common |

| Workshop title | Tackling open license proliferation |
| Description | In this workshop Open Knowledge International presents the findings of research into the current state of license proliferation. What are the reasons for governments to create custom open licenses? How do governments organise the licensing process and how can license recommendations applied across government agencies? An initial presentation of research findings will lay the ground for discussion before opening the floor for an discussion round moderated by Open Knowledge. This discussion panel will seek to bring the different interest groups around open licensing into dialogue. |
| Moderator(s) | Sander van der Waal, Danny Lämmerhirt |
| Target audience / Prerequisites for participants | Government officials get the chance to describe how choosing standard or custom licenses supported their open license implementation; Open license advocates are invited to present different solutions that can support government to ensure the use of standard licenses, and to enhance the compatibility of licenses; Data users can express their experiences when choosing from different licenses (including experiences of reusability, user-friendliness, etc.) As such the workshop addresses government officials implementing drafting open data strategies and implementing open licenses; legal experts working on open licensing, copyright, and open government data as well as data users. Max. number of participants: 20 |

The workshop will explain three ongoing research projects and invite volunteers to help us with later stages of the research and its dissemination. |
| Moderator(s) | Teresa Nobre, Paul Keller, Sean Flynn |
| Target audience / Prerequisites for participants | The target audience for this workshop includes copyright advocates, researchers and experts interested in learning about and contributing to research on the incorporation of user rights in copyright reform. Max. number of participants: 20 |

| Workshop title | Wikidata, ContentMine and the automatic liberation of factual data: (The Right to Read is the Right To Mine) | Hackers ethics and peer-to-peer philosophy in care |
| Description | The workshop will explore how Open Source tools can extract factual information from the Open Access scientific literature (specialising in BioMedicine). We will introduce Wikidata, a rapidly growing collection of of 30 million high-quality data and metadata and use it to index scientific articles. Participants will query the literature at EuropePMC using "getpapers" and retrieve hundreds or thousands of full-text articles . These will be further queried to extract tables of data which relate genes, proteins, diseases, countries, species, etc. Example: "which papers have Zika as the main subject, mention mosquitoes and pesticides and relate to sub-Saharan Africa". We expect the workshop to highlight examples where policy and commercial interests are problems so we try to choose areas which will give useful results. Most work will be done either on participant laptops with pre-installed virtual machines or on our websites. After initial induction - e.g., running Wikidata queries and EPMC examples, we move to small groups (3-5) - this means that people can share skills. Each group will explore a query in the area of biomedical (disease, ecology, chemistry, agriculture, etc.). All participants will take away a Virtual Machine and the Open technology. | This workshop aims at presenting the various activities of Hacking with Care, with a focus on sharing experiences about burn-out in activists, care as a strategic objective for our causes, and care techniques used as tactics for activists. Hacking with Care is born from the magical encounter of Emily King, a massage artist, Jérémie Zimmermann, an internet activist, and friends with common good at heart. The collective explores well-being and care as components of hacking and activism, while also seeking to liberate care, and to inspire alliances between "caregivers" of different competences. Hackers and activists know working for positive social change is a continuing, draining, selfless battle. However fulfilling and often invigorating, this dedication nonetheless takes a great physical and emotional toll on many friends. Some burnout, some are imprisoned or experience limitations or abuse of their rights, in retaliation for their deeds. Some die. Meanwhile, the various attacks and restrictions on life and freedoms keep intensifying everywhere, motivated by unchecked power and greed. They affect all, in all areas of life, including access to healthcare. - From our different perspectives, we decided to put our experience in common and join forces to: Care for ourselves and others, become aware of vulnerabilities and organize so that our capacities to care and be cared for will not be compromised. Reach out to health-care practitioners, to share and care with them. They too are increasingly confronted to situations requiring skills in relation to privacy/data protection, technological independence and operational security (OpSec) in order to protect themselves as well as their patients. |

| Target audience / Prerequisites for participants | Target audience: * hackers (who can make tools such as R, Python, etc.) do exciting things * scientists (including citizens) which want to explore questions in bioscience * librarians who want to explore C21st ways of creating knowledge * open activists who want to change policy both by political means and using tools * young people. we have had wonderful contributions from a 15-year old Prerequisites for participants: * participants should have their own fairly modern laptops on which a Virtual Machine can be installed. (Note sometimes this is impossible due to company policies, so groups should be prepared to work communally.) * collaborative approach. The style will be hackday / unworkshop in style and you should be prepared to help make this successful. Max. number of participants: 30 |
activists, hackers, caregivers and people-who-care Max. number of participants: 30 |
