Technologies enable unprecedented democratization of cultural practices, and the production and use of Intellectual Property. An effective system of sustainable norms for digital copyright is needed but this is challenging to create. Copyright law is complex and there are gaps in knowledge and awareness. The reCreating Europe project brings researchers, libraries, copyright experts, policymakers and other stakeholders together in order to clarify what is needed for a regulatory framework which supports culturally-diverse production, inclusive access and consumption.

reCreating Europe focuses on five groups of stakeholders: individual authors and performers, creative industries, cultural and heritage institutions, intermediaries and end-users. In this way, the project can assess needs along intertwined research patterns, while its multi-disciplinary innovative approach joins different methodologies within the framework of participatory research strategies.
