Calling all postgraduate researchers, early career researchers / academics and Professional Services Staff

Do you give a fig about copyright? Does the thought of someone reproducing your work without your permission keep you awake at night? Is copyright just a load of bla, bla, bla? If the thought of copyright makes you: a) yawn, b) run for the hills in fear, c) Keep Calm and Carry On infringing, or d) sit on the edge of your seat with excitement, then this new copyright card game is for you!

'Copyright for Humans' encourages you to creatively respond to an array of copyright scenarios set in an academic context by choosing an answer that reflects how you feel from a variety of answers available. Maybe you blissfully agree that 'the idea of abolishing copyright altogether is' 'an excellent idea' or maybe you are unsure and want to use the 'I'm not answering this without my lawyer present' card, or perhaps you heartily disagree and think that this is 'an action with devasting consequences'! However you feel, this card game will encourage you to think about different types of answers, share your thoughts with others and discover more about copyright in the process.

Join us on 25th June 9.30-11.00 am in the Doctoral College in the PGR Café for tea / coffee/ cookies, where we can eat, play and talk about the wonderful world of copyright! This session will be important for all postgraduate researchers, early career researchers / academics.
