News Update: you may access our blog for panel information and details from the conference.
The Information Society Project at Yale Law School is organizing a conference entitled Access to Knowledge and Human Rights, Feb 11-13, 2010. Access to knowledge (A2K) is about "designing intellectual property laws,
telecommunication policies, and technical architectures that encourage broader participation in cultural, civic, and educational affairs;
expand the benefits of scientific and technological advancement; and promote innovation, development, and social progress across the globe."
This year, the focus is on the intersection between access to knowledge and human rights.
The two-day conference will feature a diverse range of academics and practitioners in plenary panels on topics including Access to Knowledge and International Human Rights, Technologies of Dissent, The Right to Culture and Science, and Digital Education and The Right to Learn.
The conference will also be streamed online for those who are unable to attend.
Virtual Activism will be attending the conference and will be blogging and tweeting about its sessions.
