Copyright in Context: Ireland

Time: 11:00 – 15:30

Location: National Library of Ireland, Dublin

ARA, Ireland are pleased to offer a one-day in person training workshop that will outline copyright in context for the two legal jurisdictions on the island of Ireland. The focus will be on Irish Law with comparison of key differences to UK Law as it applies in Northern Ireland for those who may work cross border. It will also highlight any key differences between Irish law and other UK and international jurisdictions. Using practical case studies this training event will address copyright issues as they apply to digitisation and social media. It will also explore the subject of third party copyright.

The training will comprise of three sessions, at approximately 45 minute duration each. Opportunity will be afforded to allow round-table discussions and ask questions.

The workshops will be delivered by Dr Ellie Pridgeon, director of Consultant Archivist, an organisation that specialises in providing advice and support to the heritage and records management sector. Group discussions will be facilitated by ARA Ireland, to provide attendees with an opportunity to informally discuss copyright issues after each session with their group peers. Groups will shortlist questions for the Q&A at the end of the workshop.
