On October 2nd, COMMUNIA hosted an in-person event on why Europe needs a Digital Knowledge Act in Brussels.

The event brought together academics, representatives of civil society and EU policymakers to discuss legislative measures that would enable knowledge institutions, such as libraries, universities and other research organisations, to fulfil their public mission in the digital age. The event also marked the release of our brochure A Digital Knowledge Act for Europe (download the PDF file).
