The Europeana Public Domain Charter is a key policy document within the Europeana Initiative that highlights the importance of the public domain. 15 years after its adoption, it has been reviewed and updated to ensure that it continues to reflect the challenges that the public domain faces today.

This event, organised collaboratively between Europeana, Creative Commons, Communia, Meemoo, KBR, Wikimedia Belgium and Wikimedia Europe, celebrates Public Domain Day in 2025.
