RE:START CONVERSATIONS. Beyond the crisis: Recovery, resilience and sustainability of the book sector – 17 March 10.00 CET – ONLINE

3rd March 2021

IFRRO, together with EVA, EWC and FEP, invite to the first in a series of online conversations, at which authors, publishers and collective management organisations in the text and image sectors will discuss, together with representatives from the EU Institutions. 

Brussels, 4 March 2021

The covid-19 pandemic has impacted all parts of society and everyone’s private and business life. The cultural and creative sectors have been some of the worst hit – and have had to quickly come up with new approaches, creative alternatives and short and long-term solutions. The book and image sectors have proven to be particularly hard hit.

IFRRO, together with EVA, EWC and FEP, invite you to the first in a series of online conversations, at which authors, publishers and collective management organisations in the text and image sectors will discuss, together with representatives from the EU Institutions:

  • the impact of the covid crisis on the book and image sectors;
  • the ‘best practice’ initiatives from European countries that have successfully allowed both users (individuals and licensees) to access text and image works and authors and rightholders to be remunerated;
  • recommendations to ensure the recovery, resilience and sustainability of the book and image sector – and to be ready for a Re:Start
