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.

"Every honest researcher I know admits he's just a professional
amateur. He's doing whatever he's doing for the first time. That
makes him an amateur. He has sense enough to know that he's going
to have a lot of trouble, so that makes him a professional."
Charles Franklin Kettering (1876-1958)
