The Creative Commons is an organisation which describes its mission as one which, “helps you legally share your knowledge and creativity to build a more equitable, accessible, and innovative world”. Best known for its content licences, Creative Commons is in fact a global movement which encourages open sharing and creativity in commercial, educational, public and cultural settings. It aims to “unlock the full potential of the internet to drive a new era of development, growth and productivity”. Its Global Summit is a forum to discuss key developments in these areas.
The GLI team attend the Creative Commons Global Summit will consist of eight students (four undergraduate and four Masters students) from across the Schools of the Faculty of Social Sciences: Architecture, Economics, Geography, Information, Journalism, Law and Management. The team comprises Nathan Allaby, Julie Baldwin, Leila Eddakille, Kirsty Franks, Laura-Grace Holliday, Amy Lees, Stefanie Lo and Jessica Rees. They will be joined by Professor Stephen Pinfield (Information School) and Dr Julia Davies (School of Education).
