The 2021 European Commission Recommendations on a common European data space for cultural heritage strongly encourage an increase in 3D digitisation efforts, and their availability through the data space for cultural heritage.

With more and more cultural heritage organisations digitising cultural heritage in 3D, questions arise with regards to the reusability of the models. During these copyright office hours session, we will talk about the extent to which copyright protection arises (or not) on 3D cultural heritage digitisation, and the implications of the public domain provision in the 2019 Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive. 

We will also discuss developments in Sketchfab, a space that cultural heritage organisations have strongly relied on for the sharing of 3D models, the implications this can have on sharing public domain 3D models, and the need to find adequate alternatives for the cultural heritage sector.

Copyright office hours are informal online sessions that seek to bring cultural heritage professionals together in discussing and addressing common challenges.

To the extent possible, we encourage you to share your thoughts, examples and questions in advance through the registration form.
