The right to take part in cultural life, to share in scientific progress, the rights to education, health care, and food: all are impacted by and impact upon policies and movements around intellectual property and Internet freedom.
This two-day conference seeks to lay the groundwork – conceptual and strategic – to build bridges between the A2K and human rights communities pursuing common goals of promoting greater access to knowledge, culture, technology and tools for innovation worldwide.
The conference will feature a diverse range of academics and practitioners in panels on topics including Perspectives on Access to Knowledge and Human Rights, Technologies of Dissent, The Right To Health, Digital Education, Freedom to Innovate, The Right to Science and Culture, Information Ethics, The Right to Development, Accessibility and the Right to Read, and Rights-Based Strategies for Advancing Access to Knowledge.
