>> opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free
>> Culture. This event builds upon the successful workshop held in 2009

>> perspectives, we expect that perspectives from law, IT, the social
>> sciences and humanities will help us develop a better understanding of
>> the challenges at hand, for individuals, business, law, the economy,
>> and society at large. Topics of interest include:
>>
>>
>>
>> * Studies on the use and growth of open/free licensing models
>>
>> * Critical analyses of the role of Creative Commons or similar models
>>
>> * The role of Free Culture in markets, industry, government, or
>> the non-profit sector
>>
>> * Technical, legal or business solutions towards a hybrid economy
>>
>> * Incentives, innovation and community dynamics in open
>> collaborative peer production
>>
>> * Economic models for the sustainability of commons-based production
>>
>> * The economic value of the public domain
>>
>> * Business models and the public domain
>>
>> * Successes and failures of open licensing
>>
>> * Analyses of policies, court rulings or industry moves that
>> influence the future of Free Culture
>>
>> * Regional studies of Free Culture with global lessons
>>
>> * Best practices from open/free licensing, and the application of
>> different business and organizational models by specific communities
>> or individuals
>>
>> * Definitions of openness and freedom for different media types,
>> users and communities
>>
>> * Broader economic, sociopolitical, legal or cultural implications
>> of Free Culture initiatives and peer production practices
>>
>> * Methodological concerns in the study of Free Culture
